. The seeding and care of golf courses. Golf courses; Grasses. 1 I TURF PROBLEMS iHE purpose of this booklet is to answer in a I comprehensive way the many questions t y ^ 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 direc- tions. 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 Z'HE problems of the green committee are many and per- plexing. 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 re- quire 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. [5].
