Senior Project Week 6 Day 2

Today the guys had me helping with mowing the grass around the sand bunkers. This grass requires a specific height of cut, as all of the grass does, but it often on a very steep slope and is almost impossible to get a normal grass mower onto. So to complete this task we used something called a fly mower, which as one of the guys described, is like a hybrid between a normal grass mower and a weed whacker. Its basically a small, light weight machine that looks kind of like a normal mower, but doesn’t have wheels, but instead hovers above the ground, and has a blade underneath. We cut the grass on nine of the holes and then went back for lunch. After that we continued work for a little while and then I left.

  1. I have been reading your posts from newest to older, and it sounds like there is a lot of lawn care of the golf course. Since it hovers, does it matter the direction you cut? Does it leave a stripes or not?
