Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "One of the oldest bound books published on the subject of turfgrasses. It is a very rare book that is a must for collectors of historical turfgrass and/or golf books. It is devoted solely to the design, construction, and maintenance of golf course turfgrasses. An assemblage of 16 papers written by 12 authors with five of these contributing authors eventually writing their own separate golf-turfgrass books. The chapter titles and contributing authors include the following:
1. Introduction - Horace G. Hutchinson 2. The Formation of Turf - Gilbert Beale (Messrs. Carter-Seedsman) 3. Treatment and Upkeep of Seaside Links - Hugh Hamilton 4. Typical East Coast Links-Deal - Henry Hunter (golf professional and greenkeeper) 5. Treatment and Upkeep of a Golf Course on Light Inland Soil - H.S. Colt (golf course architect) 6. Construction and Upkeep of Heath Land Courses - William Herbert Fowler (golf course architect) 7. Formation and Upkeep of Courses Made Out of Pine Forests - S. Mure Ferguson 8. Treatment of an Inland Green on Medium Soil - Peter W. Lees (greenkeeper and both golf course constructor and architect) 9. Upkeep of a Golf Course on Chalk Downs - Leonard Keyser 10. Golf Course on Heavy Soil - James Braid (golf professional and golf course architect) 11. Making a Park Course - E. Mepham 12. Formation and Placing of Hazards - Cecil Key Hutchison (amateur golfer and golf course architect) 13. Remarks on the Laying Out of Courses - H.H. Hilton 14. The Championship Courses - H.H. Hilton 15. General Deductions on Greenkeeping - Horace G. Hutchinson 16. A Few Leading Principles in Laying Out Links - Horace G. Hutchinson
Newly evolving areas of emphasis in this classic, pioneering book were less frequent rolling, switching from heavy iron rollers to light wood rollers; maintenance of greens varying with the soil type; mowing of fairways preferred to the use of sheep; the need for rabbit control; and an appreciation of the greenkeepers contributions. It contains numerous early golfing photographs." p. 252 |
