Summer mowing plan for greens

As of May 30th, we are now on our summer schedule for mowing greens at Glendale CC. We use Toro Flex 21's with a 14 blade reel, and the cutting height set at .090. These mowers have a floating cutting head, so the actual cutting height with a fixed head type mower would be more like .110. To put it into terms that make more sense, we are cutting the greens 15 thousandths of and inch below 1/8" (.125). The greens are mowed seven days a week into October, and we'll roll them after mowing on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. This should put our green speed into the 10.5 to 11.0 range on the Stimpmeter. If we get them any faster, we lose hole locations because the sloped areas of some greens get way too fast. We don't want to create "Putt-Putt" type of conditions where you have no chance of getting the ball to stop near the hole, close to a sloped hole location.
