The bobble test scoring scale and what the test is used for with Chris Tritabaugh

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Chris Tritabaugh joined me to discuss the #bobbletest scoring scale and the overall utility of this test. It is used for assessing the smoothness and trueness of ball roll on golf course putting greens. I find the measurements useful as a way to systematically adjust maintenance work.

The blog post we discussed, with a link to the "Perfectly True" article, and with the ATC scoring scale, is: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/bobble-test-rating-scale/
