Recommends Using Bermuda in Preference to Bent, Rye on Florida Greens

By FRED BROWN Pro-Supt., Bartow (Fla.) Air Base

As I see it, supts. who work in warm regions, such as in Florida, ask for trouble in overseeding greens. In the fall, for ex-ample, when overseeded, greens are either taken out of play or are in such poor con-dition they shouldn't be used. In the spring the same poor condition exists dur-ing the transition period while rye or bent is bowing out.

Bermuda, our basic grass for greens, should be in a growing stage in the spring, but if it has been overseeded it has old, dead turf to contend with. The result is that it becomes permeated with thatch, and thatch, in turn, becomes a nesting place for insects and fungi. Then, it de-lays detection of trouble and if the greens finally are treated to rid them of disease or fungi, thatch retards penetration of the soil bv chemicals and fertilizers that are intended to remedy them. It's a vicious circle — at its worst.

Some supts., of course, claim they can

get rid of thatch by verti-cutting, but my reply to this is: " W h y go to the added trouble and expense of growing thatch-producing bent or rye in the first place?"

Two Strains Recommended

In the Florida area there are at least two strains of Bermuda that will hold up through the year, retaining excellent color and providing superior putting surfaces. T h e y compare favorably with bent in color, texture, putting qualities, and prob-ably most important, cost of maintenance.

These strains are Everglades No. 1 and and Tifton 3 2 8 .

T h e y hold up exceptionally well through the year with little more than mowing and verti-cutting being needed. Supts. will have to change their fertiliza-tion and topdressing practices to keep them in top condition but, generally, they require only about 5 0 per cent as much maintenance as overseeded grasses. If they lose their color at any time it takes only a spell of warm weather to restore it.

T o do away with overseeding and switch completely to either Everglades or 3 2 8 , I suggest that you plant 8 , 0 0 0 or 1 0 , 0 0 0 sq. ft. of either of these grasses in your nursery. Next year you can use the

Early in 1958, Royer introduced the new Model " 8 " — a belt shredder selling for a full M less than ever before offered. Packed with famous Royer values, the Model " 8 " was an overnight success.

Now Royer again captures the attention of the industry, with TWO more new popu lar priced belt shredders:

T H E M O D E L "10" , with 8 cubic yard capacity. Only 221 pounds with 3 hp gasoline engine1; compact, 26" x 34" x 38" high; maneuverable, 12" semi-pneumatic tired wheels.

THE M O D E L " 1 2 " , with 12 cubic yard capacity. Just enough bigger to make a difference: 341 pounds with 5 % hp gasoline engine1, 32" x 37" x 46" high; 14" pneumatic tired wheels.

Change Your Attitude on Women Golfers (Continued on page 2 7 )

clubs "tailored" to the needs of the woman golfer, as men's clubs were for them.

I held the job for two seasons, and this strange new gospel that women, too, were entitled to every advantage the golf manufacturer could supply, was received with tremendous enthusiasm. I sold an outstanding number of clubs.

That idea, first planted more than 25 years ago, has spread until virtually every woman golfer knows there is more to buying a set of clubs than walking in to a shop, pointing, and saying: "I'll take those." She doesn't buy anything else in that fashion, and she won't be content to get her clubs without looking the stock over carefully and being "sold."' It's a pro-cedure she follows in every purchase she makes from groceries to a new fur coat.

My usual practice, when a woman who never has played golf comes in to get some clubs, is to say:

"I'll sell you the clubs if you insist, but I'd rather sell you a series of lessons first. Then, if you are serious about the game, you can buy whatever clubs you like. But

it is far better to get the clubs after we have some idea of your playing potential than it is to sell you ones which might prove unsuitable because you don't have the power to swing them, or because they are too light for your swing."

If the woman brings a set of clubs with her that is usable I may tell her she doesn't need new clubs or suggest some additions to the set. Or, if she does need new clubs after the lessons are finished, I explain what is wrong with the old ones: Poor balance or design, perhaps, or simply that they are too worn to be serviceable.

Treatment like this makes a hit with most of my feminine customers. They realize I am not trying to hurry them into a purchase, a thing no woman likes to have tried on her.

When a professional, either through laziness or a don't-give-a-damn attitude, permits any of his customers — men or women — to walk out of his shop with clubs not suited for them he not only is unfair to his professional code but is giv-ing the maker of the clubs an undeserved bad name. I have had both men and women complain about their clubs — su-perb clubs made by the nation's top manu-facturers. Actually there was nothing on

earth wrong with them except that they should have been sold to someone else. They just were not suited to the ones who owned them.

When I first began teaching in 1924, men customers outnumbered women three to one. Now the ratio is about 50-50. My women pupils range in age from 12 to the admitted 50's. One woman of 64 showed up a few years ago and said she wanted to take lessons.

"My children seem to think I am going to be nothing but a baby-sitter from now on," she said grimly. "So I have decided to take up golf."

She developed a respectable swing, then headed for the course and, presumably, a taste of baby-free relaxation.

Accent on One World I found her no different to talk with or

sell equipment to than a woman of any age. But — again I must repeat — accent the word "sell."

Too many professionals think that be-cause they are professionals — all they have to do is say: "This is it," and all discussion should end.

Women do not do business that way. They have to be sold. They have to be convinced by logic and courteous argu-

ment, if necessary, that clubs of a certain weight and length, a certain low-compres-sion ball, even a particular bag (which will fit easily on a cart when no caddies are available) are the ones for them.

It takes a judicious blend of diplomacy, wisdom, and, I suppose you could call it just plain honesty, to keep women cus-tomers happy. But it is well worth the trouble.

Golf professionals from coast to coast are missing hundreds of thousands of dol-lars yearly in sales lost to department or sporting goods stores. Why? Because the clerks there have no superiority complex, and the woman customer finds herself treated like a "Person Who Matters."

It's as simple as that.

Educating New Members (Continued, on page 4 6 )

Members who propose and second him for membership can t diplomatically under-take his education. There is the possibil-ity that they themselves do not know all that the new person should know.

So the professional should have the de-finite duty of welcoming and schooling the new member.

The chairman of the membership com-mittee and the professional should work out a program for tactfully acquainting the new member with the benefits and ob-ligations of membership.

Pro Knows the Ropes The diplomacy required in the educa-

tional work is of a kind the pro has learned over the years in handling his job.

General policy and details of the pro-cedure of getting the new member and the professional acquainted and having the pro be the greeter and teacher are matters that club officials and the pro can arrange.

The fact is that the club owes to the new member a reception and information program far ahead of what usually is done to welcome the newcomer.

I have a hunch that real estate experts, who are promoting a lot of the new clubs as centers of community development, will make valuable use of the pro's serv-ices in educating the new member.
