| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf turf production, stating that "when the production of golf turf was first started on a large scale, it was necessary to break down the hoary argument that a close-matted turf could not be grown in less than three years, but it was done at Sunningdale, England, by getting that fine course into play in just twelve months." Profiles the Royal Automobile Golf Course at Woodcote Park, Surrey, England, and the Gleneagles Golf Course in Perthshire, Scotland, stating that "within six weeks of the date of sowing, the greens and fair greens were clothed with a turf which made that beautiful natural turf at St. Andrews look quite shabby in comparison." Discusses potential advantages of heavy sowing, including "the turf is produced in a minimum space of time"; "the grass plants being crowded together from the very start afford each other mutual protection from cold, searching winds and the hot sun - and being checked to an extent in their lateral growth, seek relief in deep rooting, with the result that a dwarf, fibrous, hardy, drought resisting turf is produced"; and "the chance of failure on a thin patchy turf is eliminated." |
