Abstract/Contents: | "Recently, the Segway X2 personal transporter was introduced as an alternative to riding golf cars. Previous research compared the impact of these transporters on actively growing bermudagrass, but their impact on bermudagrass during winter dormancy is unknown. The objective of this research was to compare the effects of the Segway and traditional golf car on turf wear and spring green-up of 'Tifway' bermudagrass fairway turf trafficked during winter dormancy. In Tennessee, Segway traffic caused less wear on dormant bermudagrass turf than traditional golf car traffic and overall turning traffic caused more wear than stopping traffic, while spring green-up was not affected by vehicle type in Arkansas and Tennessee in 2008." |
