Abstract/Contents:A project was carried out at the Sports Turf Research Institute to develop an apparatus to project spinning golf balls directly onto golf greens. This employed a modified baseball/practice machine with two counter-rotation pneumatic wheels. The speed of the wheels could be varied independently allowing backspin to be given to the ball. The ball was projected into a darkened enclosure where the motion of the ball before and after impacting with the turf was recorded using a still camera and a stroboscope. The resulting photographs contained successive images of the ball on a single frame of film. Eleven tests were devised to determine the characteristics of greens. Statistical techniques were used to analyse the relationships between the facts.
