| Abstract/Contents: | Notes that "millions of pounds are being spent on new courses, on machines to maintain them, on prize money, on clubs and balls - a few thousand are spent on research and a few hundred on training greenkeepers." Overviews the risk of decline in golf course maintenance due to a decrease in staff, the "sharp increase of players and of golf courses," the trend of many clubs economizing "on staff hoping that new machinery will redress the balance," and unsatisfactory salaries and working conditions. States that "a government grant supplements subscriptions, donations, and income from advisory services" to support research. |
