| Abstract/Contents: | "Rolling putting greens is a cultural practice that many golf course superintendents are using to increase putting green speed. Research shows that putting greens constructed according to United States Golf Association (USGA) specifications can be rolled six times per week and result in no decline in overall turf quality. However, the effects of rolling putting greens more than 6 times per week are unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine if rolling the putting surface more than six times a week to increase ball roll distance produces a decline in turf quality or water infiltration. Three different rolling treatments (applied two times per day, four times per day, and eight times per day) were chosen to evaluate the effects they would have on putting green speed, turf quality, and water infiltration. Plots rolled eight times per day produced significantly faster green speeds compared to plots rolled two and four times per day. Plots rolled two times per day consistently had the highest quality, and though there were some small differences in water infiltration, all remained above the acceptable infiltration rate for a sand-based putting green." |
