Abstract/Contents: | An apparatus for recording the impacts of golf balls on golf greens was used on sixteen golf courses, resulting in 721 useful photographs of impacts. Statistical analysis was carried out on the results of the photographs. Two types of green emerged from this analysis. On the first, the ball tended to rebound with topspin, while on the second, the ball retained backspin if the initial backspin was large enough. Statistical techniques were used to analyse the realtionships between the test of playing quality and the results linked to the impact study. It was found that it was easier to retain backspin on the rebounding ball on a green that was freely drained and had a low amount of Poa annua in its sward. |
