One week following the final aerification of the year, we "vertigroomed" greens today. "Vertigroom" is a term used which basically means light verticutting. The vertical blades slice into the canopy of the turfgrass to eliminate thatch and excessive top growth. This tightens up the leaf blade and promotes upright growth. This practice will be done on a regular basis and will aid in thatch and grain control by removing excessive leaf material and providing a smoother playing surface with minimal disruption for optimum playing conditions.
