Fall Greens Conditions are back at The Quarry!
The much anticipated crispness of fall weather is rolling in and The Quarry Golf Course conditions begin to shine! As the weather gets cooler, we are once again able to return to lower mowing heights and our regular greens rolling schedule. But what does this mean for you?

Basically, “rolling the greens” is a great playability perk we have at The Quarry. After the mowers go out, the rollers may follow, which allow the putting surface to be smoothed over once (or sometimes twice!) again. This provides for maximum green speed and improves the uniformity of the surface. This process also smoothes out the spike marks left by those lazy guys who drug their spikes yesterday. Tisk, tisk.
Tips for putting your best on “rolled” greens:
Monitor the length and pace of your stroke—this is the best way to control your speed.
Allow for adequate “break” in your chosen line. Faster rolling balls can take fewer breaks, but balls that miss the hole can travel much further by the cup, leaving a much more difficult second putt.
Good luck and play well!
