| Abstract/Contents: | "Ball roll tests were carried out to determine the green speed on five turfgrasses: Festuca rubra ssp. litoralis 'Dawson', F. rubra ssp.commutata `Frida', Agrostis capillaris `Bardot', A. castellana `Highland' and Poa annua. Measurements were made on four occasions for bowls and three for golf under variations in mowing height and surface moisture. Averaged over all assessment dates F. rubra ssp. litoralis provided the fastes surface for both golf and bowls, and P. annua was consistently the slowest. Agrostis species did not provide the fastest playing surface on any occasion, although `Highland' ranked second overall for bowls. Surface moisture decreased green speed and a reduction in cutting height generally increased it, although there were some inconsistencies. In view of the differences found it is suggested that further research should be carried out on playing quality of grass species and cultivars." |
