Download or read book Practical Greenkeeping written by Jim Arthur and published by Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. This book was released on 2003 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of "Practical Greenkeeping" was produced in 1997 to fill a huge void in practical knowledge in a format that could be easily understood at all levels. Jim Arthur's experience, advising more than 550 golf clubs in Britain and Europe and acting as consultant agronomist to the Championship Committee of the R&A, made him the ideal man for the job. His no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach conveys his message loudly and clearly. Golf courses can flourish by following traditional methods that are the most simple and most effective, both in terms of condition and cost. This second edition contains a large amount of new material in the form of appendices to chapters, bringing the debate right up to the minute in terms of new regulations on pesticides and fertilisers and restrictions on the use of water. Now, more than ever, the sound traditional advice in "Practical Greenkeeping" is vital to all those involved in the preparation of golf courses. New generations of student and trainee greenkeepers will find the content of this book invaluable and it will also stimulate much debate and provide encouragement for experienced course managers.

It is no use naming them all; but at all, SO far as I know, that have the real links characteristics, there is evidence that the sea and a river have been at work to gether to produce them. Some years ago, as I say, we used to think that we could not play golf on ground Of any other kind, and this al though the golf club of Blackheath is the oldest establishment of its kind known to history, and although one of the Perth clubs dates back to 1824: The Perth ground, however, formed by the silting of the great river, remote though it is from the sea, has a measure Of likeness with the real links soil. We seem to see a formation Of rather a like kind in the two Richmond greens. As for Blackheath, that was accepted frankly as a substitute, the best that could be Obtained, so far from the sea, for the real thing.

Download or read book Keeper of the Greens written by Larry Runyon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Runyon has lived a life that Horatio Alger would be proud of. Consider this: Larry contracted polio at age two and a half; as part of his therapy, he walked several miles each day and soon discovered golf and became a sensation, traveling the country playing in junior golf tournaments; in his teens he discovered a love for flying and crop dusting; at age 18 he married his high school sweetheart; he turned pro and became a greens keeper at the same course in Coffeeville, Kansas; he began a journey that would take him to the highest echelons of golf course maintenance and make his name (as well as his trademark crew cut) known wherever superintendents gather; along the way he encountered some rather interesting individuals in country clubs, pubs, race tracks and industry. While Larry was, and is, an excellent golfer, he is best known for his innovations in course maintenance, particularly his work in replacing dangerous chemicals with harmless biological agents. Always entertaining and sometimes hilarious, this is his story. As someone once said, “You burr headed bastard, it’s all your fault!” Larry couldn’t agree more.
