22 Vol. 11, No.2 Development of Local Green Sections This number of the Bulletin contains reports of the activities of 30 organizations interested primarily in golf course turf. The Green Section is not directly responsible for the formation nor the manage- ment of any of the organizations listed in this number, but it has from their start cooperated in one way or another with most of them. Some of these organizations are confined to members of green com- mittees and some to greenkeepers, while others are organized on a broader basis to admit to membership all individuals who are inter- ested in growing turf. The large number of these organizations is significant in indicating the growing interest in turf problems. All of these organizations have been formed since the establishment of the Green Section of the United States Golf Association in 1920. It is interesting to note that the first local green section was started in Philadelphia in 1921. The first organization of greenkeepers was the Greenkeepers' Club of New England, which held its first meeting in 1924. The purpose in presenting all these reports in one number of the Bulletin is to call attention to the large number of organizations that are interested in turf culture throughout the country. The reports show that some of these organizations have extensive programs for the year, while others are relatively inactive. A review of the many programs given in the following reports should furnish program com- mittees of these organizations with many helpful suggestions for the 1931
