Green adjustments........

This week we started to adjust some of our green edges and fairway edges. Most green edges were adjusted to the outside by 2 to 6 inches depending on the green. The process is simple. I take a 5 foot piece of pvc and put it on the edge of the bluegrass or perimeter cut and put a paint dot on the green. In a perfect world the mowers would never miss their line and the adjustments would not be needed, but its hard to mow good on Saturday and Sunday morning when you slept in the parking lot.

The fairway adjustment are a little more abstract. I am trying to put each row of irrigation heads in the fairway. This is not possible on all the holes, but most fairways are being expanded in one spot or another.

We will also be going through all the tee complexes this fall to make any needed changes to the free flowing tees here at Hillcrest.
