Book Synopsis

This handsome, leather-bound volume is an exact reprint of the classic 1906 text on professional green-keeping. Sixteen contributions from greens professionals discuss such topics as the treatment and upkeep of golf courses by the seaside, in pine forests, on heavy soil, and on chalk downs. Coverage extends to the formation and placement of hazards, the formation of turf, and the principles of laying out links. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
