Golf course management methods for greens-Three

Fairway Turf Management: As the intermediate transitional green area connecting the tee box and the green, the fairway should not only have beautiful surface quality, but also meet the sports standards required for fairway hitting:

1. Appropriate mowing height. The required mowing height for fairway lawns is 10 mm to 25 mm.

2. The lawn surface has a higher density. Only a high-density lawn can make the ball in a better ball position on the grass surface, which is conducive to the golfer’s hitting. Sparse or even bare lawn is not conducive to hitting and increases the area of the fairway. Undue difficulty in playing the ball.

3. The flat surface is uniform and smooth, and golfers can accurately control the hitting method and force on the entire fairway, so that excessive differences in the fairway lawn surface will not affect the golfer’s accurate hitting.

4. The thickness of the grass soil layer is moderate. If the grass soil layer is too thick, the surface of the lawn will be fluffy, and it is easy to cause large patches of grass and soil patches due to hitting the lawn. It is also not good for the players’ stable stance, and will affect the growth of the lawn root system. , but the lawn surface with too thin grass soil layer is not ideal, and it is difficult to make the lawn have a certain degree of elasticity. The surface quality of fairway lawns is not as strict as the requirements for greens and tee boxes. In terms of uniformity, smoothness, compactness and elasticity, There are big differences in all aspects, mainly to provide a better landing and hitting position, so as to satisfy the golfer’s better control of hitting the ball on the fairway.

Due to the large fairway area, maintaining a high quality of fairway lawns requires a high level of maintenance and management, which not only requires a large amount of capital and manpower investment, but also requires scientific management. Lawn management in tall grass areas The management requirements for tall grass areas are lower, but a certain degree of extensive management is still required.
