Monday was a busy day at Blue Hills for the Maintenance Crew. The crew began the morning with a little verticutting to the greens. This is the first of many verticuttings this season. Verticutting is a cultural process that is necessary to incorporate every season to help with thatch accumulation and grain control. Verticutting removes excessive roots and stems that have been accumulating just below the leaf vegetative tissue and just above the soil surface. It also helps with removal of organic matter. This practice will allow the leaf blade to grow more upright which in turn will help with ball roll and overall green playability.
