"Toke it from me, the Steel Power Center First Flightis the greatest ball I ever played. The center is fourtimes heavier, and this extra weight, concentratedin the center, creates additional power, reduceshooks and slices. It is the only golf ball center thatis perfectly round and can never be knocked out ofround. Play it once, and you will never be satisfiedwith the old type bal!." (Signed) Jimmy Demarei

to the concentrations applied. The effectof gibberellic on Kentucky blue was ob-served in 3 to 4 days and was still evidentthree months after treatment.

Leben obtained an increase in bothfresh and dry weight of Kentucky blueclippings treated with gibberellic acid es-pecially when it was used in conjunctionwith fertilizer. Once a dense turf is estab-lished, it would be preferable for lawnpurposes to have grass grow slowly in or-der to decrease maintenance costs.

May Induce Fall GrowthField tests indicate that gibberellic acid

may be useful for inducing the growth ofsome grasses in the fall and again in thespring. Gibberellic acid has been usedsuccessfully in Michigan in the spring toinduce growth in bluegrasses and Bermu-das when growth would not have other-wise occurred. Bermuda was dark greenwithin 10 days when treated on Apr. 16,1957, with 2 ounces of gibberellin peracre.

Gibberellic may prove to have a place

on golf courses where it could be used toenable play to start earlier in the springand to extend it later in the fall. However,the effect of gibberellic for breakingspring and fall dormancy has not beenwell established.

SummaryMerion Kentucky blue and Common

Kentucky seed were treated with variousconcentrations of gibberellic acid. Seedtreated with gibberellic did not germinateearlier than the control, nor was subse-quent seedling growth more rapid.

Stolons of bentgrass, Bermudagrass andzoysia were soaked for 24 hours in differ-ent concentrations of gibberellic acid. Inthe greenhouse, bentgrass was most re-sponsive followed by Bermuda. Zoysia re-sponded very little to gibberellic acidtreatments.

In the field, the best growth of bent-grass was observed at 10-50 ppm; abovethese rates spindling growth was evident.At the 500 ppm concentration Bermudastolon growth was slightly inhibited. InMeyer zoysia additional upright growthwas observed following application of gib-

berellic acid but no improvement was ob-tained in rate of turf establishment.

Additional.research is necessary to de-termine the value of gibberellic for break-ing spring and fall dormancy of both cooland warm-season grasses; its usefulnessas an adjunct for weed control; and to de-termine whether rate of root growth is af-fected adversely by the high concentra-tions of gibberellic acid.

Use Forceful Approach inSelling Club on ImprovementsAn article in the Green Breeze, month-

ly publication of the Greater CincinnatiGCSA, written by a fellow with the penname of Edsel Midiron, declares thatmany a supt. doesn't use the right ap-proach in req uisitioning a new piece ofeqiipment or a course improvement.

Too often, says Edsel, an oral requestis made and the official to whom it isgiven forgets it, or the supt, doesn't

follow it up. Many times a proposal is

merely scratched on a piece of handy pa-per and doesn't make much of an im-pression when it is passed around at agreen committee or board meeting.

Edsel says he has been guilty of suchpractices. But he has noticed that whenhe carefully draws up a proposal withplans, diagrams, costs, etc., clearly ex-plained, his chances of getting favorableaction are increased 100 per cent.

Model Put on DisplayA year ago when Edsel wanted to re-

place a poorly constructed green' thathad given him a great deal of trouble foras long as he could remember, he madeup a Pastalena clay model of a new greenthat showed drainage contours, sandtraps,mounds and surrounding trees and acreek. It was mounted on plywood andeven sand was put in the traps. The greencommittee couldn't okay it fast enough.Then the model was displayed in theclubhouse lounge for two weeks with thesupt's name prominently displayed as thearchitect .

areas were softer and easier to walk on.The greens would hold a shot better,and it was easier to tee-up a ball on thetees. In the latter part of August, wemade a follow-up application on the /";greens as recommended (2 to 3 monthslater. ) There was a continual improve-ment in both appearance and density ofturf. This lasted into the fall.

This past year has proved to me that

Greens and putting clock (above) no longer fadewith first heat spell. Members are elated to knowthey can play from April Through October at North

Hempstead on turf that will hold up.

there are new techniques being developedcontinually that many of us aren't awareof. Changing characteristics of plain waterand making it "wetter" is certainly oneof them. Besides producing excellent turf,we estimate that we have saved 30 percent in the labor needed to maintain ourgreens and tees. We have used less waterand we have watered less frequently thanbefore. Last April we examined the rootsof the turf on the treated areas andfound them to be nearly twice as deepas in previous years.

This year we will be using Aqua-Groextensively. We plan to use it in treatingthe clubhouse lawn and other high trafficareas as well as for more general useon the course.

Committee Studies TrapsA sand trap committee has been ap-

pointed at Beverly CC (Chicago dist.).Green Chmn. R. A. Podesta in a note tohis committee says: "When it is realizedthat since 1940, the cost of sand has in-creased about 70%and in the same periodour labor cost has risen over 60%, it be-comes obvious that a re-appraisal of ourtrap situation is desirable. The programshould have the following objectives:Elimination of unnecessary traps. Possi-ble reduction in size of traps. Possibleredesign and/or relocation of presenttraps."

Golf Business Good(Continued from page 28)

back, that the trade-in clubs mightbe the headache that used cars areto the automobile dealers. Pros'good business judgment appears tohave the trade-in situation now wellunder control.

One professional comments on thetrade-in marketing:

"Trade-in club business now is sobig and important that we may bemissing the boat by regarding it ca-sually because we have no troublein getting rid of the clubs we takein.

"I am thinking of putting theseclubs into good shined-up, revar-nished condition, getting the gripsrenewed and putting a decalcoman-ia on the shafts or wood head show-ing that the clubs have been renew-ed by me.

"I believe I'll make money on thedeal and get good advertising."

Pro Rising Costs SharedApparently about half of the pri-

vate clubs have been understandingand helpful concerning the sharplyrising costs of the service they ex-pect from the pro department.

Raising costs of club-cleaning andstorage, better contracts and withsubstantial salaries, absorption ofsome of the costs of assistants' serv-ices and, in a few cases, paying foradditional assistant's service withgolf car revenue, have eased theload of higher operating costs forsome pros.

But there's still a lot to be done inbalancing the higher cost load inpro department operations. Manyclub officials haven't the slightestidea of how pro department servicesto members have increased and

-costs have jumped beyond a fair di-vision. Several instances are report-ed of adjustments being promptlymade when club officials were ac-quainted with the situation.

Tournament Interest SmallMost professionals advise that

their club members don't have theslightest interest in the PCA Tour-

narnent Bureau's disputes. One pro ad-vises that members in his locality havebeen told the PGA side of the latestcase and feel that some sponsors shouldhave no part in golf for the good ofthe game. An.other professional believesthat the average member feels the PGAshould clean up its house. Two moreexpress the opinion that club memberswho have great regard for their ownpros wonder why the PGA can't con-duct its tournament operations on thehigh class basis on which the USGAoperates with clubs that are hosts toits championships.

Women's Golf Picture BrightOn the completely bright side of the

golf business picture as pro authoritiessee it is women's golf.

Only one pro reported that women'splay so far this year isn't ahead of lastyear's figure at his club and, generally,in his district. All others said that in-crease in women's play has been from"average" to "excellent."

Women's buying at pro shops isn't in-creasing in proportion to the increasein women's play. The women are closebuyers, especially of clubs. They aredoing quite a lot of apparel buying fortheir husbands and children in the proshops so several pros advise.
