Abstract/Contents:"Ball mark injury affects both aesthetic and playability characteristics of putting greens. Most ball mark studies have evaluated repair tools or repair techniques to determine if recovery occurs more rapidly based on the method of repair. Digital image analysis techniques were incorporated in the present study to determine if ball mark severity or recovery was influenced by low mowing heights, increased rolling, and foot traffic. The hypothesis for this research was that firmer conditions would result in smaller ball marks with minimal turf injury. It was believed that lower mowing heights combined with increased traffic from equipment or golfers would impede ball mark recovery due to increased physiological stress. Ball mark severity was not significantly different for any treatments evaluated in 2010. In contrast, rolling frequency appeared to have an effect on ball mark recovery with plots rolled six times per week having significantly greater ball mark injury area than plots not rolled with the exception of SR 1020 at 34 days after treatment (DAT). The differences observed in recovery over time for rolling frequencies may have been a result of initial differences in injury area 2 DAT, rather than an indication of slower recovery over time with increased rolling. These data indicate that maintaining adequate moisture and decreasing rolling frequency will minimize the duration of ball mark injury on putting greens."
