Cutting a Golf Green Part 2 of 2 - LandscapeSafety.com

note how he lowers the front reels with a foot controller just after the reels clear the fringe of the green.
he will now cut each half of the green, working outwards from his first pass.
note how he lifts the reels as he approaches the edge of the green without slowing down his ground speed, then he turns around on the rough at the edge of the green. While mowing, it is not appropriate to slow the machine, you must keep a constant ground speed when the reels are touching the putting surface. When you have the reels lifted off of the green, however, it is okay to change your ground speed, for example, when you are turning around. He never turns around while on the green, however, only after he leaves the putting surface.
notice how the trailing reel lifts and lowers a little later than the front reels; this is timed automatically so that the trailing 3rd reel cuts the same length passes as the front reels.
