| Abstract/Contents: | "Rolling putting greens may allow turf managers to decrease mowing frequency or increase mowing height without losing green speed. An increase in mowing height would be beneficial in minimizing summer stress on creeping bentgrass putting greens in Arkansas and throughout the transition zone. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of mowing and rolling frequency and mowing height on turf quality and green speed (ball roll distance) on a sand-based putting green. This study contained eight combinations of mowing and rolling treatments, which were applied over a six-week period. Turf quality was rated weekly and ball roll distance was measured twice weekly. Rolling treatments had a greater impact on increasing ball roll distance than reducing mowing height. Furthermore, mowing frequency could be reduced without a decrease in ball roll distance if turf was rolled on days when mowing was skipped." |
