| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Tru-Turf roller, offering experiences from several golf course superintendents. States that "it does an excellent job of smoothing the putting surface...and really does smooth the surface rather than compact it." States that one course experienced a tendency "to leave a temporary mark on the edges of the green from spinning out in one of the directions" while another suggests that "the 'burn out' on the collar is a training issue." Mentions that "with sand topdressing its almost assured that some bearings are going to go" and that Tru-Turf will replace bearings that have worn out too quickly free of charge. |
