Dana P. sec. 50. Just so you know I"m not a fan of golf courses. I think
they waste a lot of space and resources. What I want to know is this:
they seem to cut the grass often and at different heights. What do they
do with all of the grass clippings? Do they recycle them back into the
course or what? Not sure if this has anything to do with your ponds but
you never know!!
Thanks for the Question Dana, and your part of a large fan club (one I am leaning toward joining) unfortunately I'm making a living there during my academic endeavor.
To answer your question we and most all courses cut there grass very often. Greens once a day, fairways 2 to 3 times a week, and roughs once/week on average. And all but the greens clippings stay where they fall, adding organics back to the soil and hopefully lessening the need for fertilizer (which is expensive). But some of those clippings get picked up and washed into the ponds with heavy rain events adding to the organic material in the water already and yes adding to the nutrient problem.
Good Question!
