SMITH show that the greenkeeper is the most vital individual connected with a golf course today, the great drouth of 1930, which even yet has not been Telieved in many sections of the country, hammered home the fact to millions of golfers. ‘Week after week passed last sum- mer without rain throughout the mid- west and south. Under a white-hot sun, even the hardiest grasses -with- ered and died. Even the earth baked and cracked. In some sections the water supply ran so low that it was impossible to give even the greens the moisture de- manded. They, too, burned out. It ‘was @ happy day for the duffer, whose ordinary 150-yard drives bounded and skittered on the concrete-like fair- ways for distances that would make Jones or Hagen envious, but it was correspondingly sad to the green committees and others whose pride and pocketbooks were equally af- fected. ee 8 During this time the greenkeeper came into his own. He was the only man who could stave off the disister and his shoulders bear the task of re- viving the courses before another sea- son begins. Golf clubs discovered that the grimy, overalled man they had seen puttering around traps, tees and greens had been studying for years to meet just such an emer- gency; that he had a lot of sound ideas under his soiled slouch hat worth considerably more than the mass of theory his bosses had accum- ulated. Not many years ago the green- keeper was just the hanger-on who mowed the grass, raked the traps and occasionally held a hose on the greens. The professional was the “pig shot.” This was reflected in the difference in the salaries the two berths commanded. ‘Today, golfers are beginning to find out that while anyone may teach himself to play a decent game, it isn’t worth it unless an expert greenkeeper is handy to keep the course from literally going to seed. The most without true greens and well-groomed. tees and fairways. i ** * That there is a constantly-increas- ing grodp of men qualified to main- tain the high grade of course upkeep which the golfer in this country de- mands i due to the National Asso- ciation of Greenkeepers of America, @ five-year-old organization which recently concluded its annual con- vention in Columbus, O. The future of the game here and in Canada may be said to hinge on the resourceful- ness of these 500 or more men who delve into the quirks of grass grow- ing and the cures for plant ills as intensively as any scientist ever sought to isolate the flu germ. Their discussions this winter were in @ more serious vein than ever before, for not only have they the drouth to contend with, but the ad- ditional problems brought about by the business depression. Golf is @ luxury which many have been com- pelled to forego and clubs are forced to cut maintenance budgets. The re- maining players will countenance no let-down in the quality of the courses so the greenkeeper must make 50 cents do @ dollar's worth. There is also a cry for sprinkling systems fur- ther taxing the sums at the green- keeper's command. If he is ever to be efficient, this is the year. At Columbus, the greenkeepers listened to such experts as Tom Win- ton of Tuckahoe, N. Y¥., Edward B. Dearie, Jr., of Chicago, and Martin L. Davey of Kent, O., expert on trees. The Green Section committee of the United States Golf association, Penn- sylvania State college, Ohio State university, Massachusetts Agricultural college and the New Jersey and Rhode Island Agricultural stations all sent théir best men to discuss soil condi- tions. From their highly technical talks will come better playing condi- tions for John Dub and Joe Shark highly polished player is helpless | alike.
