Title: Practical Golf Course Maintenance : The Magic of Greenkeeping by Gordon Witteveen, Michael Bavier ISBN: 1-57504-047-6 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 01 August, 1998 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $59.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Good. VERY Good.
Comment: While perhaps limited to the basics, Witteveen's text is well organized and comprehensive enough to assure that I'll achieve my professional goal of being promoted from Assistant Greenskeeper to Head Greenskeeper within 6 years. In fact, in my opinion, it's on par with Chuck Shick's seminal treatise on the subject. One nitpicky point is that the treatment of cinch bugs, manganese, nitrogen and gophers (and other varmint menaces to the golfing industry) is far too brief. Also, more advanced topics such as the theory and practice of inventing your own type of grass would be welcome. Overall, though, it is top notch!
Rating: 3
Summary: No Magic Here
Comment: This book is best suited for the first-time greenskeeper or a greens committee member. It contains basic processes such as top-dressing and stays away from specifics like optimal mower height settings for greens. In addition, this book stays away from prescribing remidies for such things as excessive thatch buildup or constant fungus problems. If all you want are the very basics in management practices then buy this book. If you are searching for innovative and detailed turf management applications then you will need to supplement this book with other references.
