| Abstract/Contents: | "Golf course putting greens experience stress in many forms. Traffic is constantly being applied to putting greens in the forms of maintenance equipment or foot traffic. The golf shoes worn by golfers create wear damage from the scraping, tearing action of the non-metal spikes and tread of the sole contacting leaf blades. Research has demonstrated increased wear damage from foot traffic under heat stress conditions. Theoretically, putting greens being managed at lower mowing heights with increased rolling frequency would exhibit greater wear from foot traffic due to increased physiological stress. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of foot traffic on two creeping bentgrass cultivars that were maintained at different mowing heights and under different rolling frequencies. Both creeping bentgrass cultivars exhibited increased wear damage further into the summer; however, Penn G-2 appeared to withstand the stress to a greater degree than SR 1020. The increased turf density and heat tolerance of the former likely minimized the visual effects of wear following foot traffic application." |
