This week has been another extremely busy one on both courses and in addition to our daily cutting and maintenance programme; we have also this week, scarified the greens using the pedestrian operated SISIS Auto rake.

The Auto rake is fitted with 2mm heavy-duty blades, which permits greater depth penetration into the turf sward, this allows removal of some of the dead and decaying organic matter from the base of the plant.

This culture practice is very similar to verti-cutting (see earlier post) the main difference being that verti-cutting lightly grooms and conditions the grass plant and scarifying is more aggressive and primarily for thatch removal.
To assist recovery to putting surfaces, the greens will shortly receive an application of liquid fertiliser; this will promote some leaf growth and assist in smoothing putting surfaces.
