Abstract/Contents: | Discusses rolling practices on turf, reporting that "rolling three times per week (or every other day) resulted in: noticeably increased green speeds every day, as long as the thatch is not too thick"; "no increases in compaction, given that the plots were not on a sand topdressing program"; "no decreases in water infiltration, given that the plots were on a sand topdressing program"; "decreases in dollar spot (this takes several months to a year to become visibly noticeable)"; "decreased localized dry spot"; "decreased broad-loaf weeds"; and "decreased moss." Suggests that "if [one] can make the time to take green-speed measurements from at least one green twice daily...[one] can make more informed cultural practice decisions that can also impact [the] course's playability (green-speed) and pocket book." |
