| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews golf course superintendents and the future of the profession. Discusses the characteristics and personality traits that associate with being a golf course superintendent, such as knowledge about all "soils and turf, its texture, its wants, drainage, top-dressings, mowing, fertilisers [fertilizers], weeds, moss and fungi." Comments on the pay and conditions for golf course superintendents, as well as the free accommodations available for them. Highlights the green committee, which is is a club committee that "should limit itself to control of money spent on the green staff and on the course and machinery; to very general supervision of the course maintenance without attempting to do the head greenkeeper's job for him, or the secretary's for that matter; and for minor alterations to the course (all major ones should be decided after seeking the advice of a golf course architect." Summarizes the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) and its goals of raising the "standard of turf used for all sports, and to further the production of good playing areas on turf through scientific research, practical trials, education, and advice. Mentions the formation of the Joint Council for Golf Greenkeeper Apprenticeship, which provided for the "systematic recruitment and training of greenkeepers on golf courses." |
