Many golfers prefer smooth, fast greens and perhaps the best way for this to be achieved by anyone is to follow these subsequent steps. Firstly, we recommend that you top-dress your green as this will at the end of the process, encourage new thick blade grass growth, produce a level surface and improve the drainage also. These three benefits will mean that there will be less friction between the ball and the green, meaning it will travel faster and longer and be less susceptible to any drainage issues that you might have. What’s more is that it’s highly recommended by many professional greenkeepers that you cut/top-dress as low as you can possibly go. This is as close as you will get to finding the equilibrium between smoothness and speed. Furthermore, this low cutting height should also be supplemented with a regular maintenance plan to make sure the condition and performance of the green doesn’t contract. Now there are many petrol lawnmowers that will do the job in this scenario, which is why we will give you a brief description of our top 3 recommendations as to why they fit the part.
