Abstract/Contents:Profiles Frankston Golf Club (FGC), or "the Little Course" in Frankston, Victoria, Australia, stating that it "was first laid out in 1913 with nine holes spaciously arranged on 246 acres of land." Describes the history of the course, and the maintenance procedures practiced on the course. States that "it was not until 1929, that manure or super-phosphate was utilized. Even then fertilizing only occured once every four years." Concludes that "to a large extent it is the historic planting which controsl and contributs much to the quality of this 'hidden gem'. Frankston Golf Club is an excellent example of the power of landscape planning for the enhancement of a golf course."
