Abstract/Contents:"New golf shoe tread types are being developed to minimize the damage to putting green surfaces. Golf shoe spikes are being developed in new designs and materials and are being widely accepted. This study evaluated a conventional 8 mm metal spike, new soft plastic spike, and a spikeless tread for their effects on ball roll distance and turfgrass wear. Traffic was applied at 20 and 40 traverses per day and the study was conducted on an all sand rootzone and a modified rootzone. The spikeless tread reduced ball roll distance more than the other two tread types. All of the tread types caused unacceptable wear at the high traffic intensity on both rootzones, and there was more wear on the all sand rootzone. The metal spikes usually caused more wear than the other two tread types. The effects that tread types have on ball roll distance and wear appear to be directly related to the amount of sand in the rootzone and traffic intensity."
