| Abstract/Contents: | "The place at which a golf ball comes to rest in the canopy can have a dramatic effect on how a player will attempt the next shot. Although turfgrass species and cultivars are continuously being evaluated to improve playing conditions on golf courses, very little research has evaluated golf ball lie in fairways, especially with respect to bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. A recently developed technique for quantifying golf ball lie using digital image analysis effectively distinguishes differences in ball lie of varying turf canopies. The objective of this study is to quantify differences in the percent of ball exposed under fairway conditions using digital image analysis for two bermudagrass and zoysiagrass species and their cultivars. Across a total of five collection dates in this study, bermudagrass cultivars had a greater percent of the ball exposed, or improved ball lie, than zoysiagrass cultivars. Those cultivars with the best ball lie include Cavalier zoysiagrass, Patriot, Princess-77, Tifsport, and Tifway bermudagrass. The cultivars Palisades zoysiagrass and Riviera bermudagrass both had poor ball lie on several different dates in the study. This research will allow superintendents to select cultivars or species to meet the needs of their players and the difficulty of the playing conditions on the course." |
