The greens on the course currently have quite a slow ball-rolling-speed even though we double-cut and double-rolled them with a turf-iron last week. The sward is noticeably quite thick and I immediately thought that we may be behind on the verti-cutting schedule. This however is not the case.
The head greenkeeper advised that there has been excessive growth because he didn't include a PGR in the last fertiliser application as this is what his literature suggests.
From this one can see that literature can be used as a guide only and not a sure schedule. The weather is always changing and a greenkeeper needs to adapt his practices to suit this.
