Grass Court Equipment




Last week we had 2 inches of rain. The grass grew quickly and the grass courts needed mowing. The problem was it was cold and wet and using our riding mower would stress the turf. The solution. Use the walk behind greens mower that is new for 2008.


It is light and has no wheels that stress the turf.
Less stress from machinery equals healthier turf. Here are some healthy 6 inch roots that filled an aeration hole. The deeper the roots the better and this is deep for such low cut grass!
