Green speed is an important indicator of green quality, and many golf courses face the challenge of not meeting the required speeds for different tournaments. Here are some short-term effective methods to enhance green speed:
Adjust Mower Bed Knife Angle: Increasing the front angle of the bed knife can improve post-mowing green speed and enhance the smoothness of the cut.
Temporary Cleansing: By raising the height of the grooming brush, you can avoid disturbing the soil while also increasing the gap between the reel and the bed knife to reduce equipment load and improve cut uniformity.
Change Cutting Direction: Utilizing a cross-cutting pattern and reverse mowing can enhance upright grass growth and ensure a level hitting surface, thus increasing speed.
Moisture Control: Reduce automatic irrigation and opt for manual watering to prevent localized wetness, helping to keep the greens dry and speedier.
Adjust Mowing Height: Properly lowering the mowing height according to the 1/3 cutting rule can avoid damaging the turf while enhancing speed.
Adjust Mowing Frequency: Increasing the frequency of mowing, especially by mowing twice a day during high-speed demands, improves grass density and smoothness.
Optimize Mowing Speed: Choosing the right mower and blade type, and ensuring the mowing speed matches the grass height, can enhance cutting quality.
Maintain Sharp Blades: Keeping the bed knife and reel sharp, along with proper blade spacing, ensures a clean cut and improves green speed.
Rolling: Rolling the greens is an effective and safe method for quickly improving speed; studies show significant differences in speed before and after rolling.
Implementing these strategies can effectively increase green speed to meet tournament requirements.
