| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "one of the mistakes frequently made by Green Committees is to open the greens for play in March." Explains that "the weather may be fine and warm during the daytime, but frosts will frequently be experienced at night, and if the grass is subjected to the wear and tear of play in addition to having to resist the weather conditions, it naturally will suffer greatly." Recommends the use of temporary or "relief" greens, stating that "the use of temporary greens will also help the greenkeeper to bring the regular greens to first-class condition, and he would have the knowledge that he ran no risk of spoiling them for the busy season." |
