Abstract/Contents:"At present, golfers like to follow their sport independently of the season and weather conditions. This usually leads to an overuse of teeing grounds which impairs the turfgrass quality and requires high maintenance. The aim of this study was to test the Hybridgrass-System CombiGrass of Eurogreen in comparison to natural turfgrass on teeing grounds of four different golf courses in Germany. Investigations were performed by comparing the parameters evenness, shear strength, shock absorption, force recuperation, vertical deformation and soil moisture. Wearing and appearance properties were compared by detecting total ground cover using a digital analysis technique. In addition, quantitative and qualitative data from interviews with golfers and a head-greenkeeper expert survey were put into relation with the measured values. The results have shown CombiGrass to be an alternative to natural turf on highly stressed teeing grounds especially under wet and shady conditions. A better stability and playability as well as an improved aspect and evenness on hybrid grass teeing grounds were recorded. Furthermore, a reduction of plant diseases, divot size and material costs for maintenance, were reported."
