| Abstract/Contents: | "Rolling putting greens is a cultural practice that many golf course superintendents use to increase putting green speed (ball roll distance). At times, circumstances are such that require golf course superintendents to quickly increase green speed, which may be detrimental to turf quality. Little is known about the effects of high-frequency rolling (more than once daily) with a commonly-used greens roller. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of intense rolling frequencies on ball roll distance and putting green quality. Five rolling frequencies were evaluated: no rolling and rolled either one, two, four or eight times per day. At rolling frequencies greater than once per day, ball roll distance increased with increasing rolling frequency. In addition, turf rolled twice per day remained above minimum acceptable quality throughout the study, unlike plots rolled four and eight times per day. Turf quality and water infiltration decreased as rolling frequency increased. Temporary high-frequency rolling may provide a method for rapidly increasing putting green speed without a significant decline in putting green quality." |
