| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses changes being made in the Green Committee in 1917, suggesting that "once sure of being on the right track the [green] committee in charge should never deviate from the adopted policy unless it is conclusively proven after a thorough trial that the methods being employed are wrong." Mentions that "[golf] clubs are gradually overcoming the fault of choosing a committeeman simply because he happens to be a popular Club member, or perhaps has more leisure time than others." States that "if it is necessary to replace the Chairman of a Green Committee, he should be chosen from among the members of the committee who have worked along with the retiring Chairman and is therefore familiar with his methods and the general policy which is being carried out." Concludes that "not only is it necessary for [a] Greenkeeper to be efficient, but he must know what is wanted of him and should not be handicapped by contradictory orders from several members of a committee not in harmony or a newly appointed Chairman each year, who has totally different ideas than his predeccessor." |
