Grooming/verticutting greens

We did a light verticutting/grooming of our greens today.  This practice forces the grass to stand up and will cut some of the longer blades leading to a better cut.  With our higher height of cut over the stress of the summer, the grass has a tendency to lay over and become lazy.  The more grass surface area, the more friction created which slows ball roll.  Verticutting/grooming, topdressing, and brushing help improve the smoothness and ball roll as we move from summer conditions into some beautiful fall weather.
