Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Lie-N-Eye, a tool used to "measure the abilitiy of turfgrass species to support a golf ball under a typical fairway setting." Details the history and importance of the fairway. Describes the Lie-N-Eye, and its development history, along with the improvements made in Lie-N-Eye II. Evaluates the Lie-N-Eye by using "25 Kentucky blugreass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars grown to simulate golf course fairway conditions in Urbana, Illinois, at the University of Illinois Turfgrass Research Center." Reports that "golf ball lie is determined, at least in part, by turfgrass species, and/or cultivar." Also explores the possibility of golf management practices affecting golf ball lie. Comments that "good golf ball lie is an important characteristic of a quality fairway."
