I just got a job as a greens-keeper on a small rural 9 hole golf course.?
My major job responsibility is to keep the greens as nice as possible. We have old equipment and the greens mower tends to leave small globs of grease every now and then on the greens. Other then replacing the area’s with plugs from our practice green is there any other tip anyone can give me to breakdown the grease? Will a mixture of of water and dish liquid work? Any help would be appreciated.
can you rig something under the mower (away from blades of course) that catches the grease? detachable so you only need to slip it on when you get to the green
otherwise, put some of the grease on a rag and experiment.
Grease will move easier in warm water.
Another thing to try is Peanut Butter (PB). The natural oils in the PB may remove the drease – PB works on other things on clothing

Call the Agronomy section of the USGA in Far Hills, NJ. They have had all kinds of problems analyzed throughout the country and their knowledge is second to only the Greens Keeper Assn of America. Either organization should be able to give you a solution.
