POWERED CUTTERS
BIG AID ON LINKS
Sheep to Machine Is Jump
Achieved in Upkeep of
Course Pathways.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

@OLUMBUS, Ohio, February
THE lawn mower has
~ done more for golf than
all of the great players put
together" declared Col. Fred
Burkhart as he escorted the
writer through the exhibits of the
National Greenskeepers' Associa-
ton convention here. The colonel
is greenskeeper at the Westwood
Country Club, Cleveland, and one
of the organizers of the associa-
ton that has converted green's
keeping SIm a job to a profess
sion.
Having furnished motive power for
lawn mowers over a considerable num-
Der of years when swimming holes and
melon patches were far more interest
ing, your correspondent showed but lit
tie interest in Col. Burkhart's statement.
Personal experience also had proven
that lawn mower was a poor tmple-
ment with which to play out Of a
trap. But the colonel could not be
stopped.
From Sheep to Power Mower.
Consider the evolution of golf course
upkeep in moving" he continued. In
the old days sheep were given the job
of clipping the fairways and you will
still find them on some of the courses
in Europe. Then came the scythe and
sickle, and that method of cutting was
followed by the horse-drawn hay now
er and side-wheel mower.
"Now we have power-driven multiple
types of mowers that are perfection.
One man with five-gang mower can
cover more ground in an hour than
IL men with a scythe could NOW in a
day, Pathways and greens are kept
as smooth as parlor rug.
1.-THE trend in greenskeeping Is toward
power. With power mowers, trucks,
ETC., the cost of course upkeep Is
greatly reduced, and that Is the aim
of every golf club. However, it seems
that clubs are going to spend more
money on the actual care and i'm
provement of the courses and less On
pretentious club houses In the future.
Increased appropriations and power
machinery are going to make for better
| golf courses than we have now" SO
| maybe there is something to this now
| ing machine business.
Greenskeepers Serious Lot.
The greenskeepers are serious lot
at their convention. It really is school
for them. They sit around by the
hour, swapping trade secrets and
listening to talks from practical green's
keepers. In addition they learn the
scientific side of the business from
such men as Prof. Lawrence Dickinson
of the Massachusetts A. c., DR.. How
ard Sprague of New Jersey A. c., T. 2.
| Odland of the New Jersey Expert
ment Station and ]. w. White Of
PENN State Many agricultural schools
are offering courses in greenskeeping
and doing splendid experimental work.
The U. s. G. A. green's section is
cooperating with the greenskeepers
and Offering excellent service to its
member clubs.
Statistics offered at the convention
| showed that the annual maintenance
cost for an 18-hole course varies from
$9,473.12 to $51,905.27. while 9-hole
| layouts ranged from $137 to $12,876.
The largest item of expense obviously
| is labor and that viii be reduced with
the development of more power ma
chinery..
