Over the last week or so we have been making adjustments to our equipment and our mowing patterns to help improve the puffiness that has been associated with our fairways.

For one, we are lowering the height of cut this week which will create some scalping in areas but should subside once we are able to make a few cuts at different directions.

Secondly, we will be trying to groom the leaf blades on the Bermuda grass to stand more upright verses lying over.  We have added groomer kits to our fairway mowers which will help lift the leaf tissue each time we mow as well as mowing against the grain of the grass to encourage a more upright growth.

It may take some time, but from a play-ability standpoint our fairways should begin to improve.
