A Year 1 • Country Club Golf and Lawn Fertilizers COUNTRY CLUB POLO FIELD SPECIAL COUNTRY CLUB WORM ERADICATOR <J For six years past we have been making Country Club Fertilizers for a select private trade. ^ These fertilizers are made in accordance with the formulae of the Chairman of the Green Committee of the Englewood Golf Club, Mr. S. A. Cunningham, who has perfected Country Club Brands after many years of experimental work. Associated with Mr. Cunningham in the development and preparation of these fertilizers is Mr. George D. Leavens, formerly of the Massachusetts Experiment Station and for over fifteen years a specialist in grass fertilization. ^ The results from the use of Country Club Brands have been uniformly superior, and the demand for them has become increasingly urgent. They are now offered generally to those buyers who realize that fertilizers of high quality are absolutely essential to the growing of good grass. •I Does your lawn resemble a barnyard for several months each year, as a result of dressing with stable manure ? CQ Are bare spots, moss and plantain the most prominent features of your fair greens? <I Are your putting-greens infested with crab-grass, or disfigured with unsightly worm casts ? <J Are your polo fields so full of clover as to be slippery and dangerous? •J Whether your answers to the above are yes, or no, you cannot fail to be inter- ested in our new booklet "Lawns, Golf Courses, Polo Fields, and How to Treat Them" By S. A. CUNNINGHAM and GEORGE D. LEAVENS <I This is a worth-while publication, and if you read it you will preserve it for future reference. <J A post-card or a note to us will bring you a copy, without charge, of course.

  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.

  • From Earth to Art: Customer Addenda
    From Earth to Art: Customer Addenda The World Wide Web has revolutionized the research process. What was once a slow search through printed material can now be done in seconds electronically. Most of the material found in researching this book was done the traditional way, but since the introduction of the Internet a great deal more in- formation continues to surface. The original list of Maddock and Scammell customers was formed using traditional methods, rang- ing from printed materials to searches for china at antique shows, yard sales and thrift shops. In recent years, eBay has become the principal source of information about additional customers of the Lamber- ton Works. A weekly eBay search under Pottery and Glass for “hotel china,” “Scammell china,” “Trenton China,” as well as a search under all categories of just “Scammell” or “Maddock” will often result in a new offering to add to the customer list. eBay can be even more useful in identifying all of the mystery logos that have already been found. Monograms, coats-of arms, Native Americans, famous people, scenes and names in unusual lettering styles can ofter be linked to their owners by searches ranging from “hotel matchbook,” “hotel enve- lope,” or “hotel advertisement” to such things as “hotel key tag” or “hotel soap.” Using “club,” “yacht club,” “restaurant”or other words results in an even broader range of possible Lamberton Works cus- tomer identification. This addenda lists additional Lamberton Works customers that continue to be identified since the book was completed, as well as any new information about Maddock Pottery, Scammell China or the Lamberton works that is discovered.

  • Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6
    Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6 Wyre Forest District Council Golf Facility Review Introduction This report reviews current golf play provision within Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC). Golf was not included within the Playing Pitch Strategy as supplied by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (2017) because it is not a statutory sport. Although golf is not a statutory sport in which to include within a PPS as outlined by Sports England1, it was felt that a review would be beneficial in regards to the emerging Local Plan and specifically in regards to proposed site allocations within the former Burlish Golf Course. This report will review the current golf courses within Wyre Forest District, and nearby courses in adjacent councils. It will also review current demand levels for Golf both in terms of local demand and also wider national trends. It will also discuss in detail the former golf course site at Burlish, and the proposed vision for the site. 1- Current Provision Wyre Forest District currently has five English Golf affiliated courses currently operating, all of which are run as privately operated clubs. Each club does offer visitor pay and play service but are primarily membership clubs. There is also an additional non affiliated private pitch and putt course based in Winterfold school, and a pay as you play pitch and putt course at Mini Pro Golf Parks. All of the Golf Clubs are within a 20 minute drive time for all Wyre Forest District residents, which is the drive-time catchment as recommended by Sport England.
