Abstract
The turf gauge includes a housing, a probe assembly which is spring biased within the housing with a probe to penetrate into a green and a scale member to indicate the depth of penetration of the probe. A handle of the turf gauge acts to lock the scale member in place so that a reading can be obtained after withdrawal of the gauge from the green. The construction of the turf gauge permits ready replacement of spacer rings for changing the pre-stress of the spring on the probe assembly.
