The above picture shows exactly how much thatch material we are removing from the fairways. The fairway is first verticut 2 different directions. We then allow the thatch material to dry and then we blow it all to the middle of the fairway where it is then raked into piles and removed. If there is any question why we are doing this process this picture shows just how much excess grass we have on the fairways. Performing this process every year will inevitably yield some nice tight, upright growing fairways that provide an excellent playing surface to play on. It is certainly a labor intensive process but will pay off in the long run.
