| Abstract/Contents: | "The playing quality of Festuca/Agrostis turf grown on eighteen different golf green rootzones was evaluated over a four year period of simulated wear to identify those construction materials most suited for U.K. conditions. The rootzones consisted of every possible combination of two sand types (medium and medium-coarse), three amendments (sandy loam topsoil, fensoil and peat), and three mixing ratios of sand : amendment (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30). With respect to ball roll, amendment type appeared to be the most important factor, with significantly higher values typically recorded for the peat and soil amended rootzones respectively. Sand type and mixing ratio were typically not significant with respect to ball roll. In general, surface hardness was greater in the soil amended rootzones and in the 90:10 sand : amendement rootzones, however the effects of different sand type were predictable. Similarly for ball impact, the highest stopping distances were associated with the soil amended rootzones and the rootzones mixed at the 90:10 ratio." |
