As of September 23rd immediately following the ladies tournament all mowing height (except rough) was raised. There are two main reasons for raising mow-ing heights. The first reason is to grow as much turf as possible before the first frost. The second reason for raising mowing heights is to increase root growth as much as possible. As I have said in the past shoot growth is directly related to root growth.
I am also sure everyone has noticed we have completed our fourth and final aerification for the year. Again, there is no cultural practice implemented today that is more productive for increasing root growth than aerification.
