Minnesota Greenkeepers Meet

BY L.

J.

FESER

THE annual meeting of

the Minnesota Green-

keepers Associa tion was

held at the Y. M. C. A. at

Minneapolis on April 3,

1930. After the boys had

taken the weight off of a

heavily-laden table and filled

the room with enough smoke

CHARLES ERICKSON to obstruct the view of a

chairman of a Green committee, they reviewed

the high spots of the Louisville con ven tion and

discussed ways and means of avoiding bill col-

lectors during the next eleven months.

If our green keepers can keep about three

holes ahead of those fellows, we are going to

charter the Graf Zeppelin and go to Columbus

in style. In the meantime there is going to be

a little contest known as the National Open

over at Interlachen which will be staged the

second week in July, and Erich Pahl has man-

aged to arrange for a Greens Section meeting

the day before the hostilities begin.

The Association voted to extend a special

better the root system. This was ably demon-

strated by Mr. Harrison last year during the

U. S. G. A. Greens Section meeting at the

Chicago experimental turf garden, when he

showed the root system of grass cu t in differen t

lengths. The first step to take by those who

ha ve a mania for close cutting is to raise the

mower a notch-the result will be a pronounc-

ed improvement.

One more reason for poor fairways is lack

of water when it is essential. The best fertilized

turf cannot be expected to stay green nor near

spring condition without water. Many of the

new courses are having a water system installed

during construction. Those contemplating a

water system should investigate the new hose-

les's systems which have been installed on sev-

eral courses during the past two years. There is

no question about the merit of such a system.

Fertilization of the fairways is very impor-

tant and should be a yearly occurrence. I have

found that best results are obtained by fertiliz-

ing early in the spring, before the grass has

started growth.

invitation to all the green keepers of the state

to attend this meeting, and we are anxious to

have the boys from all over the country pay

us a visit about that time, for we have a very

interesting and instructive experimental plot

at Interlachen that might pull a few stragglers

away from the Bobby Jones Gallery.

After the boys had taken care of the election

of officers by giving them all a chance to do

better this year, they succeeded in putting

something over on Charlie Erickson, but we

will tell you about that later. The officers

who were given one more year to make good

in their official positions were Chas. Erickson,

President, Erich Pahl, Secretary, Victor Lar-

son, Treasurer, and the proverbial Vice-Presi-

den tial side- track honor was given to the

writer, because that officer has nothing to do,

and they consider your scribe a master of that

art.

Reports of the secretary and the treasurer in-

dica ted that one was checking pretty closely on

the other, and if the conditions remain un-

changed, our bondsmen will have an easy time

this year. Erich and Vic have demonstrated

their ability to keep something besides greens.

as their books proved, and they were given a

vote of thanks from the Association for the

careful work that they have done during the

past year.

T"his article is getting rather lengthy, but I

have to tell you about Charlie Erickson. If

any greenkeeper anywhere doesn't know Char-

lie, then they have never heard of Minikahda

Club, for Charlie found Minikahda away back

in the' 90s, very much like Pharaoh's daughter

found Moses, in a cradle among the rushes. and

unlike the daughter, Charlie brought the young

Minikahda up to its present maturity.

But Mr. Erickson must have found a foun-

tain of youth hidden away at his club, for he

is just as young and enthusiastic as he was

thirty years ago, and this youngster has been

our president since we organized our associa-

tion, and the boys think that he is quite some

president. So they presented a beautiful mon-

umen tal inkstand and desk pen to the' 'Veteran

Greenkeeper of Minnesota", and he was more

surprised than he was the time that his chair-

man found a dandelion on his 13th green, and

-far more pleased.

To maintain perfect greens as demanded

by

present-

day golfers, perfect: cutting of the grass, frequent rolling

of the turf, aerating of the soil, brushing in top dressing

and brushing off worm casts and other refuse, are neces-

sary operations which require considerable care if the

surface of the green is not to be injured. The ever-

increasing popularity of the Cooper Putting Green Mower

is due to the fact: that it eliminates manual labor from

greenkeeping and under its own power performs these

various operations efficiently and quickly.

The high-speed, seven-blade reel trims the turf to per-

fection; the smooth sectional aluminum roller with differential action

for easy turning, supplies traction and provides with each cutting that

gentle rolling action that levels without: packing; finger t:ip control and

independent operation of blade reel and traction roller make the mower

extremely easy to handle. The light: but strong steel and aluminum alloy

construction, Briggs (, Stratton motor and grease packed gears with ball

and roller bearings throughout are Cooper features that: insure longer

life and trouble free service.

Westchester Greenkeepers Dine and

Dance

THE

annual dinner dance of the Westchester

Greenkeepers Association was held March

17th, at the Bonnie Briar Country Club in

Westchester County.

The affair was attended by over one hundred

couples from the surrounding section who,

after an excellent dinner, enjoyed dancing to

the strains of an exceptionally fine orchestra

,till the' 'wee sma" hours of the morning. The

beautiful interior of Bonnie Briar club earned

the admiration of the visitors and a word of

praise is due the club staff for its excellent ser-

VIce.

Mr. Grover, president of the association in

the course of his address warmly welcomed his

guests and thanked the committee who so ably

assisted him. The members of same including.

Mr. Robert Hayes, Mr. Joe Butler of Siwanoy

and Mr. Hugh McGill of Oakridge, chairman

who also addressed the visitors bidding them

a hearty welcome and wishing all a good time.

Another speaker of the evening was Mr. Robert

Hayes of Pelham Country Club \\rho in the

course of his remarks said:

Bob Hayes Says

"I am more than happy to see the large and

representative gathering here tonight and trust

that each and everyone is having a very enjoy-

able time and will carry away a pleasant mem-

ory of this happy occasion. It is indeed en-

couraging to find such keen in terest and hearty

coopera tion on the part of the Westchester As-

sociation.

"I would like to say a word or two tonight

relative to the recent Convention at Louisville.

Kentucky. It was an unqualified success both

from the manufacturers and superintendents

point of view, all sections of the country as

well as Canada being well represen ted. A large

and varied exhibit of equipment dre\\r the at-

tention and admiration of the visitors, the lec-

tures were extremely interesting and last but

not least the Banquet was something to be re-

membered and how.

"It was decided to hold the next Convention

at Columbus, Ohio, the home state of our

- honored president, Colonel John Morley, who

is listening in on this program and who assured

me \\rere it possible he would be glad to be with

us here tonight. We are all looking forward

to seeing the Convention held in New York in

us, here in the East to show a keener interest
