Abstract/Contents:"The effects of different golf spikes on visual and playing quality of golf green turf were assessed using a range of alternative and metal spikes. Tests were undertaken on a putting surface comprised of Festuca rubra L., Agrostis capillaris L., and Poa annua L. grass species. Wear was applied at regular intervals over one year to simulate both the walking and putting actions of a golfer on a green. Plots worn with metal spikes were found to have lower visual turf quality than those worn with alternative spikes but this did not translate into a major effect on playing quality characteristics."
