| Question: | "What grass would you advise for use for fariways on a very sandy soil?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Illinois |

| Answer/Response: | "If your sand is unusually poor it is almost impossible to get good turf. In such cases it is necessary to top dress the fairways, or at least their important parts, with a rather heavy loam. Frequent light topdressings should be made until you get a surface that will grow turf. It is well to add a little manure to the topdressing, not to exceed 25 percent. Very wonderful fairways have been made on sandy soil at the Pine Valley Golf Club, Clementon, New Jersey, in this manner. The plants that will give best results on sandy soil are bent grass and white clover." |
