Friday Mowing

Our ultimate task on Fridays is to complete all of the mowing of the primary playing areas. Thursdays are used for mowing our rough, and trimming around trees. The areas we try to mow every Friday before the weekend play are greens, tees, fairways, approaches, green collars, green, tee, and fairway intermediate rough cut, green banks, weedeat around trees and mow the entrance and the clubhouse.

Rough - All of our rough is mowed 2 times per week. There are various jobs, completed on various days, to accomplish the rough mowing. Most days during the week involve some type of mowing in the rough. We use a gang mower pulled by a tractor to mow the bulk of the rough. Riding mowers are used to mow around trees and any areas the tractor is unable to navigate. We use a different set of riding mowers to mow the areas from the tee to the fairway, and immediately around the fairway. We walk mow our green and tee banks with walk-behind mowers. The intermediate cut around the fairways, greens and tees is also mowed at various day through the week.
