English term or phrase: scalping

The green surround should be maintained to provide a smooth, well presented transition from fairway to putting green.
This may include a close cut fringe, collar and apron.
Banks and mounds within the green surround should be mown at a height which retains an attractive presentation without promoting **scalping**, drought or wear stress.

zu tiefer Schnitt

Explanation:
Stress durch zu tiefen Schnitt... (zu starkes Zurückschneiden)
http://abe.www.ecn.purdue.edu/~epados/lawn/src/glos/r-s.htm:
Scalping - An undesirable mowing practice that removes an excessive amount of green leaves and shoots at any one mowing. It can seriously weaken or even kill the turfgrass.

Da alle Gräser den Schnitt nur bis zu einer gewissen Wuchshöhe vertragen, - durch zu tiefes Schneiden sind sie nicht mehr in der Lage, neue Triebe und Blätter zu bilden, - ist es wichtig die ideale Schnitthöhe des Rasens zu bestimmen.
