5 out of 5 stars A must in every serious greenkeepers library   October 9, 2003
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Jim Arthur has never admitted to knowing it all but he always knew a man who did. This book and in particulary the second edition are essential reading and a highly useful reference for greenkeeper and student alike. Jim has never pulled any punches and the second edition covers his thoughts on many of the 'new fads' within the industry. I cannot reccommend this book enough and would say dismiss it at your peril! Jim is the sole but strong voice advocating traditional greenkeeping and traditional golf courses in the UK. Long may that voice be heard!!

This is as good as it gets .Not only is this the definitive textbook for greenkeeping it is a valuable historical record of the development of the art and science.Full of anecdotes on the characters and pioneers of course layout and maintenance it is a very good read.Every greens committee should have a copy.
