Abstract/Contents:Describes the state of golf and golf course maintenance in Sweden. Golf has boomed in Sweden. In 1985 there were only 181 clubs, as oppossed to the 367 in operation today. Although the construction of new clubs has slowed in the past few years, the numbers of players continue to grow, and is estimated at 365,000. In 1994 a Green Committee with eight Greens Advisors (Greens-Berater) was formed by the Swedish Golfverband to travel to courses and offer expert advice. Over 600 visits to over 50 clubs were undertaken, sometimes twice during a vegetations period. In addition, steps are being taken to augment the current education of greenkeepers to include courses for the more experienced greenkeeper as well as training the novice.
