Mowing

The 1st at Ootacamund Gymkhana Club (founded 1896) is strikingly reminiscent of the 10th at Augusta National. This long dogleg left plays steeply downhill in a wide corridor between tall evergreen trees.

Have you seen one of these before? Do you know its use? The sulky is attached to the back of the greensmower and one rides it out to the course, disconnects it to mow the green, and then rides it to the next green.

Did you watch the Masters Tournament in April? Did you notice the immaculate appearance of the wide fairways? Please have a look at the photo below, taken from behind the 9th green during one of the practice rounds of the 2009 Masters Tournament.
