Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing dew from various surfaces, such as golf greens, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a flexible elongated body, and means for maintaining a first end of the flexible body at a substantially fixed location on the surface as a second end of the flexible body is rotated about the first end. The method disclosed includes moving such a flexible elongated body across such surfaces in a direction transverse to the flexible body, while maintaining the body substantially in contact with the surface to be swept.
