| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses spring renovation work, stating that "just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the soil is dry and in good condition, golf clubs should commence the renovation of their courses." Provides potential methods of treating putting greens, including "if the greens are infested with earth worms, select a mild, muggy day, when the soil is moist, and apply a good worm eradicator, so as to rid the greens of them before seeding"; and "improve the drainage, if necessary." Also discusses potential methods of treating fair greens, suggesting to "apply air-slaked lime at the rate of about 500 to 100 lbs. [pounds] per acre to all low, sour, wet parts when the soil is thawing out or moist, so that it will disappear quickly." Concludes that one should "never buy cheap grass seed. Always use the very best quality, and never experiment with recommendations given by would-be experts." |
