As we enter the summer months, one of the concerns of our golfers is the height of the rough cut. During the winter months we maintain the rough at 2" in an effort to maintain good definition between the rough and fairway cut. During the summer closures we "scalp" the rough down to 1" effective height of cut in efforts to expose the turf canopy to better sunlight infiltration and to promote new growth. By doing this, the turf comes back healthier and denser. Thus, reducing the chances for the golf ball to nestle down in the rough. We understand that the temporary conditions may not be visually pleasing, however, this will lead to better playing conditions in the future.
