What is the proper way to mow a golf course green?

I’m starting a job soon at a golf course and they want to take me out and make sure I can properly mow a green and “see if I have it”. Is there any tips on how I can do a better job, or anything of that sort? Thanks in advance

    Mow it in alternating directions…first north to south then south to north..good luck to you…

    you might pull a little scissors out of your back pocket at the end. then say you need to finish up properly.

    Depending on the mower they give you, hand mower self propelled or green mowing machine the mowing is usually done perpendicular to the tee markers. Then mow strip after strip leaving less than a mower width uncut both at the start and the finish, When the whole green has been mowed, mow the uncut edge going right around the whole green. Hope this helps.

    Make sure that every square inch is cut and exactly the same height. And i find this odd- many greens are artificial turf. good luck!
