Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of golf green firmness on course playability, explaining that "a knock on southern golf courses that have bentgrass putting greens has been that in the summer months the greens lack firmness." Examines the characteristics of creeping bentgrass and ultradwarf bermudagrass, focusing on the ideal growth climate for each to sustain surface hardness. Explores possible course benefits of grass firmness in championship games, briefly highlighting statistics and comparisons. |
