Abstract/Contents:Provides advice that may help improve rolling practices on golf courses. States that because of too much rolling "many fairgreens are becoming root bound, hermetically sealed and waterproof, thereby making it almost impossible for nature to carry out its proper work." Concludes that "a heavy roller is a very good thing to have on a course where the soil is of a sandy nature, but its use should be limited to spring and fall rolling wherever the soil is clay."
