The greens have been brushed to remove any debris and lift up the sward to get an even cut, the cutting height has been lowered to 4.5mm which will give a faster ball roll and we have also sarel rolled the greens this helps to vent the surface area and allow water to move through  the profile without any disturbance to the putting surface
