I am watching the early coverage of the Masters on the Golf Channel and saw a segment on their mowing pattern for the fairways. They mow all fairways from the green back toward the tee, thereby affecting ball roll off the tee and the lie for the second shot.
For me the interesting part was that they were using at least 12 mowers (the segment ended before the line of mowers did). Each of the mowers cost over $55,000, for a total of over $650,000 in fairway mowers alone.
One reason why more courses don't look more like Augusta.
