Answer 1

1) The greens are regularly topdressed with sand so the ground is level. Achieving a level surface allows you to effectively use a reel mower. Reel mowers can cut much lower and cleaner than a traditional homeowner’s rotary style mower.

2) When you cut low, it encourages the grass to tiller outward (rather than upward). This outward growth is further encouraged by using a product called Plant Growth Regulator.

3) A shortcut lawn on a level surface looks dense, uniform, and smooth.
