Abstract/Contents:"A new greens rolling study was intiated in 1995 at the Hancock Turfgrass Research Center. The study was conducted on three greens soil mixtures on plots that were established in 1993. The three soils are: 1) an 85% sand, 15% peat green built to U.S.G.A. specifications; 2) an 80% sand, 10% peat, 10% soil green with perched water table; 3) a native soil push-up green (sandy loam - sandy clay loam) with no perched water table. There are three replications of each soil type. Each soil type section measures 60 feet by 60 feet. Furthermore, each section was split to accommodate two greens giving us a total of 18 greens. One of the two greens in each section was rolled three times/week with an Otlathe roller and the other green was utilized as a check (i.e. not rolled). The grass is Penncross creeping bentgrass mowed at 5/32 inch." The study discusses effects of rolling on golf green speed and disease activity, then presents the data collected.
