Abstract/Contents:Profiles greenkeepers, stating that "greenkeeping is no longer a peaceful occupation. It is a constant warfare throughout the entire season. The greenkeeper is always fighting against pests, grass diseases, weeds, [and] bad drainage." Suggests that "for a greenkeeper to be a success, he must know how to handle his men, his committee, his soil, his resources, and last, but not least, he must love the soil - his soil; learn to understand it and then the soil will respond to its utmost."
