We scarify to remove thatch and moss and is an important part of our maintenance.
In the spring we would be expected to carry out a form of 'scarifying' to reduce the lateral growth in the sward, and also remove the dead foliage.
For this, a cassette would be used in a professional mower or a specific machine designed for this purpose. These machines use a series of three-pointed sharp blades that will cut the lateral growth and thin the sward to encourage new growth. Again, if the blades mark the surface of the soil, it will not cause any problems because a golf green is usually a high sand content soil.
