Flymowing

Have you ever wandered how the bunker grass faces are mowed? The bunker slopes are mowed with a specialized mower called a Flymo. The Flymo is a mower that floats above the ground much like a hover craft. The mower itself has no wheels and utilizes the blade and deck of the mower to create lift. The blade acts just like a helicopter rotor that helps create the lift necessary to fly. If it were not for these specialized mowers, the bunker banks would not look as clean and crisp as the do after being mowed. This look would be hard to achieve with a weed eater or any other type of mowing equipment.
