| Abstract/Contents: | Where compaction is caused by mechanical pressure, normally only the top 50mm or so of the green's surface is affected. To help avoid or alleviate this problem, use of suitable soils for construction or topdressing such as: sands, loamy sands, or sandy loams containing a high proportion of coarse sand, fine sand and silt of clay to enable retention of water and plant nutrietnts are recommended. Where compaction has set in, it is helpful to core using hollow tine cores. Controlling traffic is also an important consideration in reducing compaction. Only changes in the direction of bowling greens and the pin placement on golf greens will help reduce wear and compaction. Judicial use of a light roller, particularly a power operated one, weighing up to 4cwt, is strongly recommended. |
