Today the first assistant greenkeeper was tasked with slitting the greens. The pictures show how flat-triangular spikes make slits in the turfgrass followed by a roller which pushes down any areas that may have been lifted.
Our deputy-head greenkeeper informed me that this practice is normally carried out fortnightly from autumn through to winter and is intended to aerate the greens. This practice is not followed by top-dressing.
