CHAPTER IV TYPICAL ENGLISH EAST COAST LINKS.--DEAL By Henry Hunter In accordance with request, I have jotted down a few remarks on greenkeeping, particularly as to my practice on the links of the Cinque Ports Golf Club, Deal, where I have been professional and greenkeeper for the past fourteen years. Mowing. There is not very much I can say under this head, except that I prefer to have the box on the mowing machine when on the putting green, the use of the box being to prevent the spreading of weeds, and that I have found a io-inch machine the most handy to use. I prefer Green's to any other make. Neither the course nor the greens should be cut too close in the early spring, or when there is a north-east wind, as this wind dries us up quicker even than a hot sun. Rolling. I am not in favour of too much rolling when once the ground is properly set, but occasional rolling and dragging with a chain harrow in the winter do good in removing rubbish out of the grass and letting in light and air to the roots. I always use wooden rollers on the greens, and believe them to be better than iron ones. Seeding. After many trials of various grass seeds, I have found Sutton's special mixture for golf links to give the best results. The seed should be sown during the latter part of August, so as to catch the late summer rains. Seed sown at this time is well established before the winter. Worming. I cannot say very much about this as we are never troubled with too many worms on this light, sandy soil, but whenever I see there are too many, I reduce the numbers.
