Spring brings welcome changes to your turf \u0097 along with some not-so-welcome challenges. Rolling can help alleviate common problems with some added benefits. Here are three reasons to make greens rolling part of your spring program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Alleviate frost heaves in northern climates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frost heaving is caused by the cycle of freezing and thawing on many northern golf courses.<\/p>\n

Surface soil can buckle from the pressure as temperatures fluctuate and moisture from below is drawn up to the frozen layer. If this is occurs on your course, it\u0092s a good idea to roll before your first mow to avoid scalping<\/strong> any uneven spots.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Smooth swollen thatch in southern climates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavy rain and high humidity can cause thatch to swell, allowing mowers to sink in and scalp the turf. Rolling smooths the thatch to help avoid scalping<\/strong> while also creating a better playing surface.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Prepare seedbeds for better growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rolling increases seed-to-soil contact<\/strong>, which leads to better growth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Right Roller for the Job<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u0092re looking for the perfect machine for these applications, the Toro\u00ae GreensPro\u00ae 1200 riding greens roller offers several unique advantages:<\/p>\n

\"GreensRoller-Story-Images-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u0095 The offset smoothing rollers overlap, providing a consistent roll across the entire swath<\/strong> of the machine without leaving a roll line.<\/p>\n

\u0095 The split design allows both halves of the smoothing rollers to spin independently, so they\u0092re gentle on turf and less likely to scuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0095 The articulating smoothing heads hug and preserve the natural contours of the green<\/strong>, allowing more flexibility in choosing the direction to roll the green.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, the GreensPro 1200 is easy to operate with convenient steering and foot pedal control. One person can convert the unit from operating to transport mode without tools.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
