| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the effects that putting green conditions could have on ball reaction. Presents a study conducted to determine "what aspect has the largest influence on a golfer's ability to stop a ball on the putting green." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "a modified baseball pitching machine was used to fire golf balls into the the turf with a range of speed, spin, and angles" to simulate shots from a golfer onto a pitched green of Champion bermudagrass. Reports that "the most important factors controlled by the golf course were: the slope or pitch of the green...the firmer the surface, the greater the bounce and roll..." Notes that "the most important factors controlled by the golfer were: the inbound angle and ball speed (velocity) of the golf ball." |
