Mowing Pattern and Clip of the Reel Have Limited Effects on Green Speed of Ultradwarf Bermudagrass Putting Greens

Abstract

Core Ideas Backtrack mowing produced the fastest green speeds compared with all other treatments. Shortening the clip of the reel or mowing in multiple directions removes more sand topdressing than standard mowing practices. Mowing patterns or clip of the reel had no visual effect on plant health.
