Reel Mower Terminology
Intermediate Rough —
A border between the fairway and the rough that is cut higher than the fairway and lower
than the rough. It is also called the junior rough or step cut. It is generally 60 - 84 inches
wide or one pass of a trim mower.
Kentucky Bluegrass (cool-season turfgrass) —
A highly variable group of cultivars. The cultural intensity varies from medium high to
low depending on the cultivar. Kentucky bluegrass in general must be mowed at higher
cutting heights than other fairway grasses. The nitrogen requirement, thatching
tendency, and irrigation needs are generally less than for bentgrass. The Kentucky
bluegrass used on fairways generally has fewer disease problems than bentgrass and
annual bluegrass.
Kentucky Bluegrass Polystands —
Kentucky bluegrass is typically combined with the fine-leafed fescues in the northern
part of the cool humid region. It is combined with perennial ryegrasses in the southern
part of the cool humid region. These polystands require a higher cutting height than
either annual bluegrass or bentgrass. Both the fine-leafed fescues and perennial
ryegrasses establish quicker than Kentucky bluegrass. The fine-leafed fescues lack heat
and disease tolerance needed to survive in the more southerly portions of the cool humid
region. Most perennial ryegrass cultivars are prone to low-temperature injury and snow
mold diseases in the more northerly portions of the cool humid region.
