Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the landscaping involved with golf course development, suggesting that "the first requirement, or object, in landscaping is to provide shelter. Properly considered planting can, and should, compliment the course architect's work of design." Highlights other potential aims of landscaping, types of trees, and the operation of planting. Warns against creating a course "where it is possible to lose a ball in the centre [center] of the fairways when the leaves are falling in the autumn." Identifies size as potentially the most significant aspect to be considered when choosing trees for a golf course. Recommends that, when first planted, trees should be given some treatment by way of extra humus or drainage "if the soil is heavy clay or extremely poor." |
