BOWLING GREEN MAINTENANCE TASKS Mowin~ - Mowing will take place a minimum of three (3) times per week at a height between 1/16 and 1~8 inch, alternating the direction of mowing each time. The mower is used at slow speed with a minimum amount of pressure applied to the mower handle. The mower is to be de-clutched when turning to prevent gouging. Mowing is to be at 45° angles to the greens gutters, over- lapping each previous cut by 50 percent. The grass catcher is to be emptied when clippings reach a depth of 2 to 3 inches. The mower is never to be allowed to ride on the greens gutter rail. 2. Greens Gutters - Greens gutters are to be raked and leveled with a leaf rake on an as needed basis. 3. Weed Control - Weed control will be by chemical application of herbicides with the type and frequency to be determined by the Park Supervisor. The Greens Chairman will be notified as to the type of material to be applied 'prior to application. , 4. Insect and Fungus Control - Chemical application for insect and fungus con- trol will be determined by the Park Supervisor as to the type and frequency. The Greens Chairman will be notified as to the type of material to be applied prior to application. 5. Irrigation Prdcedures Irrigation requirements will be determined with the use of a tensiometer provided by the Bowling Green Club. A sufficient number of readings are to be initially made by the greenskeeper and Park Supervisor to determine the watering characteristics of the irrigation sys- tems. Watering frequencies will be logged and maintained by the greenskeeper and will be available for review by the Greens Chairman. 6. Fertilization - Each green will be fertilized wi than inorganic fertili- zer at the rate of 1 lb. of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. per month. The NPK ratio should be 4:1:2. Type of fertilizer to be applied will be determined by the Park Supervisor. The Greens Chairman shall be notified prior to each application. 7. Aerification - Greens will be aerified using an aerifier with 1/2 inch tynes.

Frequency will be determined by the Park Supervisor and Greens Chair- man. 8. Renovate/Verticut - The machines depth and spacing will be det~mined by the Park Supervisor and Greens Chairman. Verticutting is to be at 45° angles to the greens gutter, ove~apping by one half on each pass. This is to be repeated at the opposite corners. The green is to be fertilized with an inorganic fertilizer approved by the Park Supervisor and is to be watered in by hand to dissolve the fertilizer pellets.. Frequency will be determined by the Park Supervisor and Greens Chairman.
