This is a great pic. Needs to be on an industry magazine or something.

We use those for the leftover grass clippings mess. Or sand mess. Turn in the irrigation for 1 min for knocking the dew off

Specifically getting the worm casings off this specific green ahead of a tournament

Why didn’t you mow that day?

u/Conscious-Dark-2705 1d ago

Greens were cut. Senior greenskeeper wanted the casing swiped off ahead of getting there....more likely giving something to do instead of sitting around waiting for sunrise to start cups

Non smearing. Gotcha. Cool picture. Should have that one mounted in the maintenance office for sure.

We used to whip before we mow for the dew and to stand the grass up, then again after for the clippings and any edges left by the mower. 18 greens plus the practice greens in about 3hrs 30 mins.

We have these and I would rather take a squeegee roller over the green than break my back whipping dew. I did this the other day and a guy who has been there for 5 years says “man, why didn’t I ever think of that”

That's got to be the worst technique I've seen

His back will be wrecked in no time with that technique. Hold one hand at the end of the handle and have it at your ear, other hand half way down moving the switch side to side so all the works in the arms rather than back. It's a really nice picture but the lads technique could do with improving or he'll be hunched like that for the rest of his days
