My Grandpa’s 15-Minute Trick for a Golf Course Lawn

Why This Simple Trick is So Effective

• It’s Gentle: Unlike a grinder that can overheat and ruin the blade’s temper, sandpaper sharpens without risk.

• It’s Accessible: Anyone can do it with basic tools.

• It Works: The results are immediately visible in the quality of your cut.

You’ll notice:

• A cleaner, more even lawn

• Your mower runs smoother and with less vibration

• Grass tips stay green instead of turning brown

When to Consider Other Options

• For heavily nicked or damaged blades: A professional with a bench grinder might be needed.

• If you’re not comfortable: Many hardware stores offer sharpening services for $10-$20. It’s a great option, but now you know how to do it yourself for pennies.

The Bottom Line

Your Saturday morning mow is an investment of time and effort. Don’t let a dull blade waste it. In just 15 minutes with Grandpa’s trick, you can protect your mower, save fuel, and achieve that beautiful, healthy lawn you’ve always wanted.

Give it a try this weekend. Your lawn will thank you for it.
