Thatch management continued today on the tees. As seen in yesterdays post we verticut the tees just like the greens.
After the tees were cleaned up they were circle cut. This practice is used to smooth the surface and mow it from as many different directions as possible to cut off any remaining shoots. Any clippings are then blown off.
Here is a completed tee.
As I rode around checking out all the processes I noticed how green 17 tee was even after all the processes were complete. You, as golfers, actually do thatch management on the par 3's when you take a divot. Notice how much less thatch there is in this picture compared to a par 5 tee that takes no divots at all.
