| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Old Course at St. Andrews and discusses some of the amazing attributes of the course. States that the "technological advances in automatic irrigation systems, the neglect of naturally occurring fertilisers [fertilizers], and the hybridisation [hybridization] of vigorous thatch and leaf producing turf grasses, have helped evolve turf surfaces into the spectacular condition you see today." Discusses the use of "brooming" and describes how this maintenance practice helps eliminate golfer wear and tear on the greens. |
