Troubleshooting
Factors Affecting Grooming
There are a number of factors that can affect the perfor-
mance of grooming. These factors vary for different golf
courses and from fairway to fairway. It is important to in-
spect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice
with turf needs.
It is important to remember that factors affecting quality
of cut also affect grooming performance.
IMPORTANT: Improper or overaggressive use of
the groomer (e.g. too deep or too frequent groom-
ing) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf lead-
ing to severe turf damage. Use the groomer
carefully. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERA-
TION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING OR
TESTING GROOMER PERFORMANCE.
Variables That Affect the Use and Performance of Groomers:
1. The growing season and weather conditions.
2. General turf conditions.
3. The frequency of grooming/cutting − number of cut-
tings per week and how many passes per cutting.
4. The height−of−cut.
5. The grooming depth.
6. The type of grass.
7. The amount of time that a groomer reel has been in
use on a particular turf area.
8. The amount of traffic on the turf.
9. The overall turf management program − irrigation,
fertilizing, weed control, coring, overseeding, sand
dressing and disease and pest control.
10.Stress periods for turf − high temperatures, high hu-
midity, unusually high traffic.
