| Abstract/Contents: | "The Stimpmeter and Pelzmeter are two devices to measure putting green speed, but it is unclear how these meters compare for measuring putting green speed. The research objective was to compare the measurement variability of the two devices when measuring putting green speed and to determine if the meters give similar results on the same putting surface. This study was conducted at four sites: the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, Ark.), the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tenn.), the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Conn.), and Michigan State University (East Lansing, Mich.). At each site, multiple evaluators used each device to measure putting green speed on plots with varying green speeds. There were few differences in putting green speed values between the Pelzmeter and the Stimpmeter when measuring the same turf. Measurement repeatability (as measured by standard deviation) was similar between the two devices when different evaluators measured the same plot. Golf course superintendents and turf researchers can choose the green speed measuring device that fits their situation best because both meters produced similar results." |
