Greens. The objective is a putting surface with smoothness, firmness, limited grain and with an overall uniformity. The greens will be closely mowed with good to excellent speed. Green Standards: • Greens will be mowed daily during the growing season. Spring and late fall heights of cut will be .140 of an inch with smooth rollers. The heights will be lowered on or about Memorial Day to .125 of an inch. Health conditions permitting, the height will be lowered to .1 of an inch and will remain throughout July and August with a separate clean-up band cut at 1/8.' • Greens will be hand mowed weekdays and after heavy rainfall. They will be double-triplex mowed on weekends cut to maintain relative speed objectives. Grooming and / or verticutting will be used periodically to control grain and keep it at acceptable levels. • Greens will be rolled on Saturdays and Sundays, if needed, to maintain minimum speed objectives. • Greens speed will be measured Wednesday and Friday via the Stimpmeter in order to maintain minimum speed objectives. These readings will be included into the Superintendent's monthly quality report. • Growth regulator will be applied as an aid to increase green speed, reduce excessive growth and increase turf density. • Relative Green Speed Minimums (weather permitting): • Regular Play: 120 inches of roll in methods prescribed by USGA minimum. • Weekend Play: 132 inches of roll in methods prescribed by USGA minimum.
