Grass 40 mm:	First cut at minimum 28 mm; collect the clippings under wet conditions: only topping with Flymo-type mower.
Subsequent cuts:	Cylinder mower at minimum 10 - 12 mm (first season). Frequency: 2 - 3 times/week.
Top dressing:	Minimum 2.0 kg/m².
Overseeding:	By hand.
Irrigation:	Early morning or at night.

2. FAIRWAY

First cut:	50 - 60 mm.
Minimum height:	30 mm.
Subsequent cuts:	20 - 30 mm.
Collection of clippings:	No.
Frequency:	Depends on growth.
Fertilising level:	Very low.
Higher fertilising on weak parts:
Overseeding:	If necessary by hand or machine.
Irrigation:	Depends on climatic conditions.

3. TEE

First cut:	40 mm.
Minimum height:	28 mm.
Subsequent cuts:	20 mm.
Fertilisers:	With Poa Pratensis: N.P.K.!
