Royal Melbourne Golf Club is preparing its world renowned Composite Course for the upcoming Australian Open, relying on two Salsco HP3E rollers to deliver smooth and consistent championship greens. With tournament buildup in full swing, the course team is working through intensive maintenance to present one of the world’s top ranked venues at its best.

Rolling greens is more than a maintenance task; it’s a blend of science, rhythm, and craftsmanship. Decades of research by Dr. Thom Nikolai, known as “Dr. Green Speed,” revealed that lightweight rolling not only boosts green speed but also strengthens turf and reduces disease. It’s a quiet practice that builds consistency, proving that true performance isn’t about doing more but about doing better. A well-rolled green, after all, speaks for itself.
