| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly discusses the history of mowing heights and rolling on putting greens. States that "the oldest reported mowing height...was when A.J. Hood of Detroit Golf Club noted that he mowed his greens at 3/8th of an inch in 1922. By 1930, due to improved green mowers introduced in the roaring 20s, mowing heights were as tight as 3/16 of an inch." Mentions a demonstration examining "the effects of mowing height and rolling on green speed and the impact they ahve on the turfgrass plant. At this station there are plots mowed at 1/4, 3/16, 5/32, and 1/8 of an inch both rolled and not rolled." |
