The Grass Doctor

What is a fairway lawn mower? I am looking at buying a bigger lawn mower and seen some "fairway" mowers on Ebay well I don't know the pros and cons please explain.

What is the difference between lawn tractors? What is the difference between "Lawn" "Yard" "Fairway" and "Garden" riding mowers/tractors? While I am asking, do you have an opinion about Briggs & Stratton vs Kohler vs Kawasaki engines in large riding mowers, such as 24hp? I am looking to spend about $2000 - hoping to find a discount due to end-of-season. Thanks in advance!

How do they get the golf greens so short? So how do they get those greens so short? and even the fairways... do they use lawn mowers (like special ones)? or are they turf?

Mowing pattern in my lawn? I am a big golfer! So i would like to know how to stripe our lawn like a fairway! So last week i tried going up and down but no striping appeared! So i am mowing again tonite but i wanna know how to get a nice stripe! By the way we have Floratam/ St. Augustine grass

3 short jokes - funny or not? A WOMAN pregnant with her first child paid a visit to her obstetrician. After being examined she shyly asks: "My husband wants me to ask you something..." Sensing her embarrass¬ment, the doctor intervenes and tells her, "It's OK, I get asked this all the time – Sex is absolutely fine until later in the pregnancy." "No, it's not that," the woman says. "He wants to know if I can still mow the lawn." Two golfers are on the fairway when they both suddenly dive into the undergrowth. One says to the other: "You're probably wondering what I'm doing in here, but the fact is I've just spotted my wife and my mistress walk¬ing towards us." The other golfer says: "Funny you should say that..." A man in a lift accidentally nudges a woman’s breast. He apologises, saying: “If your heart is as soft as your breast, you will forgive me.” She says: “If the rest of you is as hard as your elbow, I’m in room 207.”

Please assist with word problem HELP? A new lawn mover can cut the grass on the fairways of a golf course in half the time it takes another mower to do the same job. If it takes 7 hours to finish the job when both mowers are working together, how long would it take each mover working alone? show work

How can i cheaply cut grass short enough to putt on, without using riding mowers, or anything too advanced? Over near my friends house, there is a huge, and flat drainage hole thing. (I would guess probably like 350 yards long and 100 yards wide) The one half is mostly jagger bushes and woods, but the other half is cuttable. We asked the neighbors, who the township told could do what they want with the hole, if we could build a "golf course" in it. They are very nice, and said that we can do whatever we want to it. We have 9 holes, the shortest is around 35 yards, and the longest is probably around 100 yards. To make it easy, all holes lead to the same green. I have a heavy-duty weed cutter, which we cut the fairways, tee boxes, and green from, and it probably cuts the weeds and grass to about an inch. This is great for tee shots, fairway shots, and chips, but the only problem is that while on the green, the grass is too long to putt on. Right now, we are just putting with wedges, but it would be much better with real putts. We are only 14, so we dont wanna spend much or any money on this. (Our parents would probably put in like $50 at the most) It is hard to explain, but it is basically impossible to get any riding lawn mowers down, to cut the grass really short. I have been cutting the fairways, tee boxes and rough with my cutter, and my friend has been cutting the green with a regular push mower. with the mower, the "green" gets cut a little shorter than the fairways, but not much. We dont expect the green to be PGA tour worthy, but just puttable. Can anyone think of a relatively easy, and cheap way of doing this? We also dont want to get professionals to do this, because that would be expensive, and less fun. All we want to do is get the green's grass as short as possible. We have thought of putting a giant piece of cheap carpet (which i have) over the green, to kill the grass, and just putt on the carpet, we have thought of killing the grass with chemical weed killer, and pretty much everything else. If you have any new ideas, or ways to better cut, or kill the grass, please tell me. Thank you.

IS IT TRUE THAT ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND? ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND….. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options; a) you can immediately shank a lay-up or, b) You can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck. It is surprisingly easier to hole a 50ft putt than a 10ft one.... Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. It's not a 'gimme' if you're still 5 metres away. You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his back-swing by his handicap; ie. back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing = 300 mph. There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove. Hazards attract; fairways repel. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is the one in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint or embedded in the side wall. It's easier to get up at 6am. to play golf than at 10am to mow the lawn. Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot. A good golf partner is one who is always slightly worse than you are--that's why I get so many calls to play with friends. If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life. Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week. It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps. If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse). It takes longer to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs if you are performing brain surgery!!!! A good drive and 2nd shot on the 18th green has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.
