on the ball in the business Of de-
veloping new wrinkles in golf green
keeping. They wound up two
day meeting yesterday with visits
to several local clubs.
DR. Monteith, chief wizard Of the
greenkeeping science. was to start
again his round of the clubs which
receive the benefits of the work of
the United States Golf Association
Greens Section. -

thousands of miles a year spread
ing the gospel of intelligently i'm
proved methods of golf course
maintenance and grass upkeep. .t
And it seems strange that not a
single member of the Executive
Committee of the United States Golf
Association, which spends nearly
5000 annually on the work of
the greens section. attended the
important meeting. They must place
a lot of confidence in Monteith to
let him go ahead and spend that
amount of money without looking
over the results at their chief an
nual meeting.
