Hello everyone, just a quick note.  I have been asked about greens speeds recently,  and I wanted to explain what is going on with our greens speeds since they have come down.  As we start to cool off and the greens start to slow in growth it is imperative that we must raise our height of cut to prepare the plant for the winter ahead.  This raising of heights ultimately slows the greens speeds down, but it also allows for better rooting and overall health of the plant.  Once we start to experience consistent cooler temperatures the speed will increase.  However, if we get into winter at a low height of cut we are more susceptible to thinning over the course of the winter due to the plant not putting on new growth. We will continue to roll the greens as much as we can to have an acceptable speed, but please understand my decision to raise heights of cut is simply to protect our greens and have a great spring.
