How important is construction to smooth running greens?
How important are maintenance "best practices" to smooth running greens? What are the critical best practices? Cutting height? Rolling? Frequent topdressing? Watering regime? Growth inhibitors?
Would anyone care to priorize the importance of:
- type of turf cultivar
- homogeneousness of turf
- cutting height
- rolling practices
- soil profile
- disease
- top dressing practices
- watering practices
- thatch management - verticutting, aerating etc.
- growth inhibitors
- fertilization practices
- other
Thanks
