Height of Cut by Superintendent Paul Ellwood In order to provide premiere playing surfaces for our members, we closely manage the agronomic requirements of the turf. That includes regulating the daily height of cut on our fairways. Let’s begin our tour of the annual cutting height strategy with fall overseeding as this is the most abrupt change in our fairways all year. To explain, we must first recognize the genetic differences in the two types of grass that we use to populate the fairways. Generally speaking, our summer turf is bermudagrass (a warm-season grass) and in the winter, we use perennial ryegrass (a cool season grass). Bermudagrass, native to regions near the equator, has adapted to (and requires) high light intensity combined with high temperatures and humidity, making it our ideal summer grass in Arizona. In contrast, perennial ryegrass originated in temperate climates and thrives with lesser light intensity and cooler temperatures. Hence, it is an ideal choice for our winter golf season. The two times of year when we change grass types are referred to as “transition�. Fall transition during overseeding is a very abrupt change from bermudagrass to ryegrass whereas spring transition from ryegrass to bermudagrass is very gradual. Read full story HERE.
