So why are we doing this?
The goal is to have consistent collars all year. Collars are susceptible to mechanical and environmental damage because of their growth habit. They create a transition between rough and the green surface. The increased height of cut exposes more leaf tissue to damage from traffic and equipment. This is evident by the fact that the bentgrass cut at greens height handles these pressures much better. My plan is to reduce the problem area and lower the height of cut on the new collar area. We will then maintain the collars with the same light weight walking mowers we use on greens.
