The time of year? You mean the perfect time of year to grow grass? Someone please tell the super to raise the mower blade 1/2-3/4”.


let me enlighten you. Raising the height of cut 1/2"-3/4" when fairways are only mowed in the 1/2" range, so raising it another 1/2-3/4" will make it close to rough height. The grass still really isn't going yet, because of these cool nights. we are close, but not there yet. I have some rough areas in my fairways due to irrigation issues late summer and again at christmas when it got cold. The superintendent at the Island has plenty of experience and knows how to grow grass.

Is there any truth to the 150* temperature saying? Bermuda needs night time lows and day time high to be above 150 total? So like night time 65 and day time 85?

That’s just something I was told as a kid and it always stuck with me

There’s appear to be being mowed at the 1/16” range.
