And if you want more than one good reason, here are 9 more:

• TORO'S new 670 head gives you the wide spacing you need for conversion at lowest cost.

• Controlled precipitation rate aids growth, maintains healthy turf, improves your course.

• Shorter irrigation time allows earlier and later play. • Cuts water waste by at least 30%. • Eliminates need for night crew, cuts labor costs. • TORO valve-in-head (single head control) compen-

sates for terrain difference, preventing line drainage, puddling, and wet and dry spots.

•TORO Vari-time central controller puts irrigation at superintendent's fingertips.

• Easy installation means minimum turf disruption, no

down time or interruption of play. • You can convert greens and tees or greens first, then

fairways, paying as you go.

If you're considering a TORO conversion, you may already be half-way there . . . considering that a TORO automatic system can probably use most of your ex-isting pipe. Find out how to go all the way to TORO results.

Four of the world's best turf core products. The Hohn Tournament Triplex.

The Hahn Tournament Triplex" is more than just a pretty face. Under-neath her beauty lies the hardest work-ing greensmower on the course.

She's first of all an excellent greens-mower. She manicures greens with the precision demanded by the fussiest golfer. But that's expected from a Hahn greensmower.

What makes the Tournament Triplex different are the three other systems you get when you use her interchangeable cutting heads.

1. The patented Verti-CuV Units for removing thatch and grain before they form. 2. The Vibra-Spiker® Heads that eliminate the back-breaking ordeal of "summer aerification." 3. The Utility Units for approach and tee mowing . . . or greensmowing after top-dressing.

Ask your Hahn distributor for a dem-onstration ride on our beautiful "Greens Management System." She's in a class all by themselves.

"I'VE NOTICED ON P.G.A. COURSES I'VE PLAYED THAT HARD USE AREAS SEEDED IN MANHATTAN PERENNIAL RYEGRASS HOLD UP BETTER, LOOK BETTER AND PLAY BETTER THAN OTHER GRASSES. .

Fitzsimons on Manhattan TURF-TYPE

PERENNIAL RYEGRASS • GREAT FOR HARD

USE AREAS

• UNIFORM DARK GREEN COLOR

• FINE TEXTURED— BLENDS WELL WITH OTHER GRASSES

Manhattan Perennial Ryegrass was selected and developed by Dr. C. Reed Funk, Rutgers University. Manhattan develops a uniform dark green leafy, dense turf with leaf blades as fine as many Kentucky bluegrasses.

Pat Fitzsimons, in winning the Glen Campbell Los Angeles Open at Riviera CC, Calif., Feb. 20-23, set a new course record of 64 for a single round and tied Ben Hogan's record for this event. Fitz, above, tees off on the No. 1 Manhattan tee at Salem Golf Club course, Salem, Ore., where he previously tied the world record score of 58 on a 6,000 yard course.
