| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Callum Hitching, Jim Jeffrey and Ewen Nettleton. States that they "were all apprentice greenkeepers working on golf courses in south-western Australia." Details how the three became superintendents at various golf clubs in Australia. Discusses each greenkeeper's career; Hitching working at Busselton Golf Course, Nettleton at Capel Golf Course, and Jeffrey at Margaret River Golf Course. Briefly profiles each greenkeeper's accomplishments. States that "according to Mr Hitching, the main reason for his good-quality greens was his mowing practices." Discusses how "Mr Nettleton likes to use a low-nitrogen program on his greens...[and] Mr Jeffrey...feels it will take some time to learn all the characteristics of different parts of the course. He realises the biggest issue he will face is an irrigation management one." Concludes that "the three have the people management and greenkeeping skills required to be successful superintendents and are producing a high standard on a low budget." |
