| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the turf culture of New Zealand during December of 1976, focusing on weather, soil, and specific maintenance problems. Presents advice from J. R. Escritt, former director of the Sports Turf Research Institute in Bingley, England, on bowls, golf courses, cricket fields, winter pitches, tennis courts, croquet lawns, domestic lawns, and racecourses. Mentions a shortage of funding in turf culture, stating that "the total income (mainly from bowls and golf) is only about £33,000 per annum [per year] (over a quarter of which is spent on routine soil tests), which means that the Turf Culture Institute does no research at all." |
