| Abstract/Contents: | "The rolling of golf course putting greens to increase ball roll distance is becoming more popular with golf course superintendents. Light-weight rolling may increase compaction, which can be detrimental to the turfgrass stand. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of light-weight rolling on ball roll distance, bulk density, and water infiltration. Plots were rolled 0, 1, and 2 times per week for 14 weeks. Light-weight rolling increased ball roll distance an average of 38 cm. The increase in distance lasted less than 48 hours. Bulk density in the surface 2.5 cm of soil and saturated infiltration were not affected by rolling." |
