A-team mowers

Today was the first time cutting with our A-team greens mowers since top dressing.

In preparation for this, prior to mowing yesterday the bed knife on the B-team greens mowers was changed to a slightly thinner one resulting in more of the turf leaf blade being removed during cutting. This was easily noticeable. The picture of the grass box shows the turf removed from cutting an entire green, prior to the bed knife change.
