Hydraulic Oil Damage


Unfortunately On Saturday morning we had a hydraulic leak on one of the greens mowers. We sustained damage to the 8th green on the Masters course and 1 & 4 greens on the U.S. Open course. Hot hydraulic oil is very detrimental to plant health and we will suffer some turf loss. Hydraulic leaks are not easy to see as you are mowing, especially when we start our mowing in the dark. Fortunately we are not to far away from our spring aerification ( Mid March ), Aerification and spring grass growth will help heal the damage but until then we will have to wait for recovery.
