Wiedenmann verticutting Zorro Zoysia Fairways

With the course closed for play we took the opportunity to Vertical mow the zoysia fairways. Vertical mowing is beneficial in many ways: it removes thatch where water and nutrients may get hung up, promotes more vertical growth which in turn improves the lie of a golf ball also aids in helping the fairways be firmer and drain a little quicker.

 

Here is the Wiedenmann Super 500 sweeper in action at a half inch depth

Mowing right behind Verticutters

Here is a close up of the end result.

Drainage work on 9 fairway.

Today we are adding drainage above 9 fairway bunker.  This is a collection area that is holding water in the thatch layer.
