| Abstract/Contents: | Satirizes the ossified Laws of Turfgrass Management by telling a humorous story about a superintendent who received a very special gift from "ole' Saint Nick." Despite that the superintendent had been good all year long, the July disappearance of all but a few blades of bentgrass on number six green earned him the nickname Agent Orange, as refered by golfers. The Green Committee come up with the conclusion that the problem was caused by superintendent's negligence. The superintendent is rewarded for protecing the golfers' delicate beliefs, and never tell the golfers that their Laws have no real scientific merit since it was the pine tree that had killed number six green in July. |
