| Abstract/Contents: | "The growth of turfgrass science parallels the growth in the game of golf. A brief historical review is made of trends in Britain and in the USA. The overall picture is one of steady growth in research and development in the USA contrasted with slower progress in Britain further disrupted by two World Wars. The aim of golf green management is to provide good conditions for the player, defined here as playing quality. Various groups of factors affect playing quality which include: sward factors; soil factors; wear; external factors and management factors. Components of playing quality include: ball roll (green speed); ball bounce (rebound resilience); ball impact behaviour and hardness. Methods of measurement of playing quality are briefly described and some examples from a golf green study are given. Finally, attention is drawn to the need for a more 'ecological' approach to understanding of the multivariate data encountered in golf course research. Examples of the use of principal components analysis in a golf green experiment are given." |
