THIS WEEK’S FIELD TIP

When you’re getting ready to create your foul lines your first task sounds a little more like you’re going bowling. You start by setting the pins. Only these pins are ones you set in the ground to add your stringline for chalking. The pins should be set according to how you apply the chalk or paint. For example, if you have your chalker setup to guide on the outside edge, the anchor pins for your stringlines should be located on the foul edge of the foul line… Click here to continue learning about this topic at the Groundskeeper U lesson, Setting Up Your String Lines…
