USGA Summary Points:Over time, the accumulated thatch/mat layer about the rootzone has become the limiting feature of the putting green profile that dominates the water infiltration characteristics rather than the underlying rootzone material. The physical quality of the thatch/mat layer developing above the rootzone may be affecting water infiltration more than the total quantity of accumulated organic matter in the thatch/mat layer. The driest rootzones required approximately three times as much hand watering as plots that retained the greatest quantity of water.
