Preparing the playing field is a critical element for golf course superintendents. Mowing is one of the most important aspects – and a direct impact on the equipment management function. Listen to John Sorochan, Ph.D., in this 60-minute webinar to learn about the latest mower engineering configurations to develop mowing practices that successfully manage putting greens.

Discussion will include:

  • Understanding and incorporating grooming brushes into your putting green mowing schedule
  • Understanding “Behind Center Distance” (BCD), and how aggressive BCD mower configurations impact effective height of cut
  • Understanding “Behind Center Distance” (BCD), and how aggressive BCD mower configurations impact clipping yield and sand topdressing incorporation
  • Understanding “Frequency of Clip” (FOC) and effective mowing height for putting green speed
