Abstract/Contents: | Discusses greenkeeping at the Cape Golf Club, South Africa. Emphasizes that "seasons at the Cape are very similar to those in England and greenkeeping problems are substantially the same." Mentions that the grass used for the greens is Cynodon dactylon but because of the lack of acidity in the water applied, other grasses are encouraged to grow. Details the irrigation practices of this South African course on both the greens and fairways. Discusses the costs of labor to the greenkeeper as well as the increased need for maintenance on the machinery. |
