Abstract/Contents: | Profiles William H. Bengeyfield's first visit to a country club, Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York. Notes that "in the Rules of Golf, the term 'green' refers to the whole course and not solely to the putting greens. Therefore, the green superintendent and his green committee are, at most clubs, charged with the major operating expense and investment of their entire club." States that "it becomes necessary for the Board of Directors to choose a chairman who has enough maturity and self-discipline to recognize that he really doesn't know much about agronomy. He will therefore be happy to leave the enormously complex problems related to growing grass up to the man who has been trained for this job- the superintendent." |
