| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential cost of golf course construction. States that "the ideal fairway would be built on the same elaborate plan as the putting greens, but the expense of such a method would make the cost of the course prohibitive." Describes a possible method for the construction of fairways, including plowing, harrowing, smoothing, rolling, and fertilizing. States that "it is difficult to give a satisfactory estimate of the cost of fairway construction owing to the great variations in soils and the diverse opinions regarding how good the final results should be." Suggests that "the cost of fairway construction will be from $400 to $1,000 each or from $7,500 to $20,000 for an eighteen-hole layout [in 1917]." Also disusses the construction of tees, suggesting that in 1917 "tees will cost from $40 to $75 each, depending principally on their location." States that "it is also difficult to place any exact figure on the cost of the hazards owing to the fact that many of them are constructed somewhat incidental to the other from...and also because a considerable number of them are often left until following seasons so that the ground may have a chance to settle and 'find itself.'" |
