| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Lilleshall Hall Golf Club in Shropshire, England, providing a detailed description of the addition of nine holes through a forest. Indicates that success was due to "correct pretreatment of the soil before sowing, careful choice of seed, [and] a well conceived programme [program] of early after-management." Explains that "the only hope of success...[layed] in sowing seeds of high-tillering grasses. Indigenous species were selected for this purpose and sown uniformly after the soil had been pretreated." Gives the supervision methods, stating that "cutting commenced when the seedlings were 3-4 inches high and was repeated at short intervals as weather conditions and side shoot formation dictated." Suggests that close supervision was required in order to successfully establish the turf, adding details of the methods in which the greens were sown. Provides the results of the establishment, detailing that although the low rate of seeding was described as "a very dangerous experiment," it proved to be successful. Concludes that "high tillering species and correct pretreatment of the soil had made this possible." |
