Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turf for Golf Courses The remarkable development of golf in the United States within the past decade has led to an insistent demand for more knowledge in the art of growing grass turf. For golf purposes there is required a much finer type of turf than for lawns and greenswards, so that the knowledge gained in reference to lawn - making has been inadequate to meet the situation. As a result of this ignorance, there has been a great waste of effort and money by golf clubs, amounting in the aggregate to an enormous sum.

CHAPTER XV Personal Experiences Among the golfers of the country are many who have devoted much of their time and energy to a study of the problems involved in growing good turf. The experience of every one of these men contains much of interest and value to all who are concerned with similar work. Some golf clubs have been so remarkably successful in securing and maintaining good turf that they have attracted visits from many greenkeepers and others confronted with a like task. It is usually good economy for a club to send its greenkeeper or the committee in charge of the course to make such visits, as much valuable information is thus secured and many costly errors may be avoided. The experiences of three ardent golfers who have had much success in growing turf are presented here in their own words. It will be noted that in some details these gentlemen reach variant conclusions, but in the main their results are in close concord with the body of this book. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN GROWING TURF ON GOLF COURSES NEAR PHILADELPHIA Hugh I. Wilson The Merion Cricket Club, of Philadelphia, played golf on leased property for nearly twenty years and, as is usual in this country, the land became so valuable that the club was forced to move. This experience showed the advantage of permanency, so early in 1911 the Club appointed a committee consisting of Messrs. Lloyd, Griscom, Francis, Toulmin, and Wilson to construct a new course on the 125 acres of land which had been purchased. The members of the committee had played golf for many years, but the experience of each in construction and greenkeeping was only that of the average club member. Looking back on the work, I feel certain that we would never have attempted to carry it out, if we had...

Download or read book The Seeding and Care of Golf Courses written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seeding and Care of Golf Courses The purpose of this booklet is to answer in a comprehensive way the many questions which are asked concerning the seeding and care of golf courses and the development of a permanent and satisfactory turf. We are convinced that there is a pressing demand from golf club committees for practical and definite directions. It is our aim to place the desired information in small compass to meet the need of busy men. For a more extensive discussion of the subject the reader is referred to Piper and Oakley's "Turf for Golf Courses," undoubtedly the most satisfactory volume obtainable on the care of the golf course. The authors are both associated with the United States Department of Agriculture and have rendered large service to the golfing interests of the country. Producing results on the golf course he problems of the green committee are many and perplexing. It is not a simple matter even to grow a good lawn and the task of caring for the many acres of a golf course and meeting the peculiar requirements of the greens is far more complicated. For the building of a satisfactory turf, many factors require consideration, among them the character of the soil, the use of fertilizers, the regulation of moisture, the control of weeds and, not least, the selection of seed. On these subjects some diversity of opinion will be encountered and local conditions make hard and fast rules impossible.
