Grooming Performance
There are a number of factors that can affect the performance of grooming.
These factors vary for different golf courses and from fairway to fairway. It
is important to inspect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice with
turf needs.
IMPORTANT
Improper or overaggressive use of the groomer (e.g., too deep or
too frequent grooming) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf
leading to severe turf damage. Use the groomer carefully. Read and
understand the groomer operation instructions before operating or
testing the groomer performance.
It is important to remember that the same factors that affect quality of cut also
affect grooming performance.
Variables that Affect the Use and Performance of the Groomer:
1. The growing season and weather conditions.
2. General turf conditions.
3. The frequency of grooming/cutting-number of cuttings 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, over-seeding, sand dressing, disease control, and pest control.
10. Stress periods for turf–high temperatures, high humidity, and unusually
high traffic.
