Verticutting greens and approaches

We verticut greens and approaches yesterday followed by a hand mow.  Verticutting is important as it removes excess leaf blade, makes for a smoother playing surface, and promotes an upright growth.  We will continue to verticut up until around Memorial Day on an every other week basis while also lightly topdressing.  This process tends to be a little too aggressive for the summer months so we will pick it back up starting after Labor Day.  Below are some pics of the process as well as a video of the 4th approach being verticut.
