Several weeks ago we converted various areas of rough and embankment to intermediate cut. This involved lowering the height of cut from 2.5" to 1".

This week we are lowering these same areas from 1" to 1/2". The final step to 1/2" is the most radical change for the turf to sustain.

Over the years I have found that late fall is the best time of year to scalp rough and intermediate turf to fairway height. In the spring time the scalped turf will regenerate itself at the new height of cut. At this time we will aerate and seed with bentgrass. The bentgrass will gradually fill in these areas.
