One Hundred Million A YearWhat part of this vast sum does the greenkeeper spend? A review of the

responsibilities of these men of destiny.By T. H. RIGGS MILLER, Gremkeeper

Richmond County Country Cluh, Statm Island, N. Y.Address delivered at the Annual Dinner of M etropoli tan Greenkeepers

in New York City. January 28. 1929

T. H. RIGGS l\ULLER

"G OLF has become our national .game,"says Mr. Conde Nast, writing in the

January number of The American Golfer,"but in America, it has grown to be a gooddeal more than a game. It is an economic force.

"During the past thirty years I ha ve wa tchedit capture the imagination of the Americanpeople-seen it change American ways of liv-ing-add years of you th to themen and women who play it-and seen it grow from a fad ofa few to the most popular ofall our national sports.

"The spread of golf has beenfantastic. In America there are3,000,000 men who play it and1,000,000 women ... $1,500,-000,000 has been invested incourses, clubhouses, and equip-ment ... $100,000,000.00 isannually expended on the game.1 have a deep-rooted faith ingolf, not only as America'smost popular game, bu t as anintegral and rapidly growing part of ourAmerican life."

Immediately the thought arises-what partof the hundred million dollars expended an-nually on the game do the green keepers havethe spending of? I t is estimated that there are6,000 golf courses in the states. In order tope on the safe side, let us say there are 5,000.The maintenance cost of these 5,000 courses

varies from $4,000 to $50,000 per year each.I think we can sayan average cost of $20,000\vhich is the very minimum for any Metropol-itan course; 5000x20000 equals 100 milliondollars or 1070 of the total sum spent on thegame; this means that 10c of every dollarspent on golf, whether it be clubs, balls, stock-ings, meals or taxes, is used for maintenance

of courses by the greenkeepersof America.

We are assembled here tonightas the Metropoli tan Greenkeep-ers Association, representingpossibly the largest number ofgolf courses in any given areaon the face of the earth. Thesegreen keepers associ ations areformed for the promotion of ac-quaintance, education, and co-operation among its members.together with study and discus-sion, that will enable us to havea better understanding of green-keeping in its broadest aspects.

I t therefore behooves every green keeper to be-long to, and attend regularly the meetings ofhis local organization, and become affiliated\vith the National body.

Self-Preservation is First LawTHE reasons for becoming members are

many, but possibly the main reason is oneof self-preservation. Self-preservation is thefirst primary law. "The desire to live." For

,this reason babies cry when hungry. They areafraid of their mother's forgetting to feedthem; they desire to live. The Green Sectionat Washington, caused this kind of a cry whenit \vas first formed, not only with the green-keepers, but \vith the seedsmen, and golf equip-ment manufacturers as' well-now the NewYork State Golf Association with the aid ofthe Cornell University. has decided to manu-facture green keepers ou t of those agriculturalstudents, who do not CH OOSE to go "backto the farm."

If it were not for the fact that the majorityof greenkeepers have advanced faster than theU. S. G. A. Green Section, they would nowbe in a very sorry plight. for, even now,the dream of making green keepers ou t of theChairman of green committees is not dead. Notthat the green keeper does not want him tounderstand their work, but as in any otherthing, "a Iittle know ledge is dangerous."\Vhat the green keeper does not want is thatthe Chairman take over the planning and con-trol and leave him as a simple gang boss:

AUTHOR HEADS COMMITTEE

The author of this article, Mr. T. H. RiggsMiller was appointed Chairman of the Educa-tional Committee of the National Association ofGreenkeepers of America at the recent Conventionin Buffalo. He will have a mixed committee ofgreenkeepers and co!1ege professors to work outturf problems from both the practical and scien-tific standpoint.

which was the basic idea of the U. S. G. A.Green Section. On the other hand the green-keeper welcomes conferences wi th the greencommittees which should be held at least oncea month. At these meetings every phase ofthe work should be gone over. The Greencommittee should act as the instrument forputting through any program that might bedecided on, as well as to undertake selling theideas to the membership. These conferencesare bound to show up any weakness of thegreenkeeper and the committee might decideto make a change \vhich is their privilege to do.

Therefore, to my brother green keepers Iwould say, that, unless we of our own freewill, band together for the exchange of ideas.form study clubs for the dissemination ofknowledge of green keeping and the manage-ment of men, we will not be able to give theclub, what others can, and thus justify themin replacing us with these students, or on theother hand make us subject to their ExpertAdvice, and pass through a blight such as wepassed through during the first years of the(3reen Section, and the early days of theService Bureau. Knowledge is po\ver, and .thefruits our organizations have borne, even bya handful of green keepers you might sa y, isample proof of what can be done, and is asmall indication of what can be expected, \vhenevery green keeper in the land is a member ofthe N.-\TIO~AI..

Education Is Nece~saryAN EDUCATTONAL campaign is necessary

to sell ourselves to the clubs and golfers ingeneral. Some of the things we must let ourclub executives know is, that proper green-keeping cannot be secured by the artificial graft-ing on to the green keeper disassociated projects.(~reenkeepers all over the country have provedit is in them to do big things when they get achance. It is realized that greenkeeping practiceduring recent years has undergone a change.

For instance a few years ago the chairman ofgreens and the professional did not feel it\vorth \A/hile to report to the green keeper what\vas happening and what plans were being de-veloped-not that they wanted to keep thegreenkeeper uninformed. They had over-looked hi m; they had forgotten him; yet allthe time they would admi t the green keeper wasan important individual. Then when thegreen sections and service bureaus arrived, thegreen keeper got sidetracked al together so tha tby and by he became confused. Vital decisionsseriousl y affecting his own work and that ofthe men under him, \vere being made over thegreen keeper' s head. He didn't know whetherhe was in con trol or not. He kne\v he was stillresponsible, but he didn't know how far hecould go.

PAGE EIGHT The National Greenkeeper APRIL, 1929

The green keeper' s self-confidence was de-stroyed; he became crippled. It was always thechairmen who were addressed by the GreenSection, never the greenkeeper; in other words,he has always been thought of, in the abstract,as a necessary evil. We note that this sen timen tis somewhat modified within the last twoyears, for it is being realized that the green-keepers are the real top-sergeants of the golf- .course world. Because they are the ones who,figuratively speaking, must lead the men overthe top. In other words, it is up to them todeli ver the goods.

When the officers were in the rear and thesquads were in "No Man's Land" it not in-frequently happened that the sergeants openedup and expressed to the men in the ranks, inno uncertain terms, \vhat they really thoughtof the officers and their policies. One mustexpect the greenkeepers, under similar condi-tions to do the same.

Turf Investigators Are ScarceUKE the history of any profession, investi-

gations, study and comparison of exper-ience, have developed all callings. Investiga-tors In any line are scarce, but when it comes toturf. they are almost nil. I t is not within the~phere of the green keepers to make investiga-tions, any more than it would be for a doctorwi th a large practice-even though they hadthe technical knowledge to do so-they havenot got the time.

The green keeper must be like the doctor, bigenough to make use of the investigators andtechnical men, for they are the best friends ofany profession. The results of investigationsand the latest technique, are passed on to thepractical man to pu t them in to effect, and thus.kept up-to-date, and this is what the green-keeper must do to keep up-to-date. He is thenin a position to say to his club-what I am do-ing is the best known practice for this particu-lar trouble-if you want to call a technicalman or one or more other green keepers for con-sultation I am perfectly willing to have them.In any case, it is a wholesome habit for green-keepers to consult with one another.

During the last five years the green keeperhas raised himself into a better position thanat any time during his chequered career. Seldomis the chairman of the green or the officers ofclubs willing to pass on anything in connec-tion with the course without consulting himfirst. This is due in no small measure, to thefeeling of confidence, that has come about sincegreen keepers meet each other more often; espe-cially when they find out that their problemsare almost identical. This confidence hasgrown stronger since the formation of thegreenkeeper's organizations. But, we mustnot let ourselves be over-confident, for we arenot at the end of our journey, by any means,and never think we know it all. I might re-la te a Iittle moral. A professor said to his class:"Boys, always be like a green apple, becauseit is \vhen an apple is ripe that it begins to rot."

Most green keepers are picked workers, andmany have been promoted from the ranks. Itis natural that they should be uneducated inmany of the executive problems with whichthey must deal in their supervisory capacity.Many greenkeepers know in their hearts thatthey should have more education, but try tomake up for this lack by assuming an air ofbravado and saying, "book education is notpractical," or "These college fellows are tootheoretical" or "The university of hard knocksis the real school." It should be clear now howto overcome these disadvantages; if anythingis \vorth having, it is \vorth fighting for.

Greenkeeping Means More Than BossingIN THE old days before the war, if a green-

keeper could talk of poa annua, fescue andcreeping bent, hire and fire somebody, and seethat plenty of sand was in the tee boxes, hehad very little to ,vorry about; but it is knowntoday that a good green keeper means vastlymore than that. It is recognized that it meansmore than bossing; and a good green keepermust know a lot more than the technique andIoechanics of the work done on the golf course.Just because a man has had ten or even twentyyears of practical green keeping on a course, isno longer to be considered a positive guaranteethat he is, or will be a good green keeper.

It is now realized that the chief function ofgreen keeping is leadership, and the biggestpart of his duties has to do with the humanelemen t, for all his plans need men to carrythem out. It is the efficiency with which thisis done that determines the cost at the end of theyear. A greenkeeper must consider the cost ofupkeep as vital for with modern equipment onecan do more work than was ever thought pos-sible. One onl y has to think back to the singleunit fairway cutter-and the great advancemade by the triplex-but, who would want topass through the anxious hours again, of won-dering whether the fairways would be done bySaturday, (and only once over at that). Nowany of the standard fairway mowers will getover 18 holes twice a week with plenty of timeto spare-practically everything else is on thesame basis .

Two to three times the amount of work isdone on a golf course today as compared withIOta 15 years ago. Less men are needed thanformerly, but each individual produces more,and as a consequence expects and gets greater re-n1uneration, but the green keepers' salaries havenot advanced in the same proportion, and thereis no reason in the world why they should not .

The foregoing discussion and understandingis necessary in order that it may be realized just'Where the greenkeeper stands. It must be ac-know ledged that he is the poin t of immediatecontact. He must understand the club's poli-cies and procedures as thoroughly as he needsto understand green keeping in all its branches.

The green keeper must have a fixed goal orob ject before he can progress. The objectshould be a systematic program of educationand training. The only way this can be doneis through the N:-\TION.-\L GREE~KEEPERS As-SOCI.\TION, forming an educational committeewith sufficient funds to sponsor a program oftraining. In order to do this. it is necessaryto make the N.-\TIO:\T.-\L, a truly representative,and co-operative body. With this end in viewit is desirable to get the co-operation of menwho have had wide experience in related ac-ti vi ties.
