Abstract/Contents: | Explores the advancements in golf course maintenance in 1972 compared to previous years' maintenance practices. Mentions that weeding was previously done by hand and "the course was lucky to be mown full over in one week." Describes the process of worming the greens, which was done in February and November. States that greenkeepers were expected to have their own fertilizer mixture. Explains that sheep were sometimes "on the course fouling the greens," and would leave droppings which had to be cleaned off. |
