Product Description
Product Description
The first edition of 'Practical Greenkeeping' was produced in 1997 to fill a huge void in practical knowledge in a format that could be easily understood at all levels. Jim Arthur's experience, advising more than 550 golf clubs in Britain and Europe and acting as consultant agronomist to the Championship Committee of the R&A, made him the ideal man for the job. His no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach conveys his message loudly and clearly. Golf courses can flourish by following traditional methods that are the most simple and most effective, both in terms of condition and cost. This second edition contains a large amount of new material in the form of appendices to chapters, bringing the debate right up to the minute in terms of new regulations on pesticides and fertilisers and restrictions on the use of water. Now, more than ever, the sound traditional advice in 'Practical Greenkeeping' is vital to all those involved in the preparation of golf courses. New generations of student and trainee greenkeepers will find the content of this book invaluable and it will also stimulate much debate and provide encouragement for experienced course managers.

I know what I like to play on but do not know how to get it.,
By
This review is from: Practical Greenkeeping (Hardcover)
I have like many golfers have absolutley no knowledge of the art of green keeping but can complain with the best of them. Having heard another weeked of complaints about the state of our greens I thought that I had better find out something about the subject. This book made for the most informative and easiest reading I have ever encountered on any subject matter. I quickly grasped the well written messages, which are repeated as well placed reminders, throughout the book. If only Green Committes at many Clubs would take the time to read this absorbing book.
Buy this read it and sound like an expert when discussing your own course!
