Abstract/Contents:"Golf ball behaviour tests were carried out on a mixed sward of Festuca rubra L. ssp. commutata Gaud., Agrostis castellana Goiss. & Reut. and A. capillaris L. grown on three types of golf green construction. Experimental treatments applied were three levels of irrigation, five rates of nitrogen fertiliser and two of phosphorus. Data were collected on ball roll, hardness and ball impact behaviour during the first year of differential irrigation and fertiliser treatments. Pure sand constructions were consistently found to produce the fastest putting surfaces and showed the least variation in moisture content and hardness throughout the year. Soil constructions produced the slowest surfaces and showed considerable variation in moisture content and hardness. Increasing nitrogen application decreased speed in all constructions. Green speed was correlated negatively with Agrostis spp. cover. The total distance travelled by golf balls under the impact conditions a simulated 5-iron shot showed a maximum value on all construction at 235 kg ha-1 yr-1 nitrogen rate. Pitchmark depth was greatest in soils and least on sands and increased with nitrogen input."
