JACOBSEN... leads the gang in gang mowers

GANG UP ON HIGH LABOR COSTS Gang mowers reduce the man hours to maintain big turf areas. The Jacobsen G-10 is a rugged, beefed-up mowing tractor designed especially for heavy-duty gang mowing and turf maintenance. The G-10 has power to pull up to 11 gang mowers over rolling terrain. Unusually low center of gravity (only 16 inches from ground) makes it very safe and stable. Use it with Jacobsen Fair-way or Blitzer units or Ram Lift Ranger. Three-point hitch or PTO available.

BETTER TURF CARE IDEAS

1. MEET THE COST-CUTTING GANG This is the Jacobsen Blitzer. It is very ruggedly built to take abuse and pounding while mowing rough grass at high speed. Articulated frame design permits each gang to hug ground contours. Large diameter reel gathers in tall grass. Can be pulled by any tractor with draw-bar hitch.

2. HERE'S THE GANG FOR SMOOTH TURF If you have large, smooth turf areas, the Jacobsen Fairway Gang is what you need. Fairway Gangs will put a fine lawn look on golf courses, parks, schools, estates, institutional and industrial grounds. Very efficient with low maintenance costs. Fully articulated frame, travels over rolling, uneven ground without scalping or skipping.

3. A SPECIAL GANG FOR FINE TURF If you have big tracts of short, close, fine grass you need a high frequency mower, the Jacobsen 10-blade Fairway Gang. Jacobsen developed this gang just for golf courses with super fine fairway grass. Articulated frame design.

4. THE GANG YOU PUSH AROUND If you want a perfectly smooth finish without wheel marks or streaks of uncut grass, front mowing is what you need. Here's the Jacobsen F-10 Mowing Tractor pushing 7 mowing units. The operator has full visibility of each unit at all times. F-10 as shown can mow up to 60 acres per 8 hour day.

5. THIS GANG CAN REALLY MOVE The Ram Lift Ranger is a dependable unit to maintain a fast mowing schedule when there's travel from job to job. Usable with any tractor having SAE remote ram hydraulic system. Hydraulic system raises units for travel.

6. THE GANG FOR 3-POINT HITCH If your tractor has a 3-point hydraulic lift, the Jacobsen 3-point lift assembly will give you a low cost mowing unit. Use it with either Fairway or Blitzer units. It's fast and efficient for estates, parks, institutions and highways.

Confessions of a

A # %fter working almost 50 years

in pro golf, I retired. My wife

and I live contentedly and be-

long to a good golf club with an

interesting course and congenial

members.

These days there's talk about

millionaire golf pros and pros

who, although almost unknown,

get a quarter-million in prize

money in two years, yet com-

plain about what pro golf and

the golf public have not done

for them. Are my ambition and

performance as a club profes-

sional hopelessly out of style?

As a club professional, I always

have tried to do more for my

members and the club than I

was paid for doing. Somehow I

got the idea I owed that to golf. I

am one of a family that has won

national championships. I prob-

ably have inherited an obligation

of service to the game. In these

days of playing stars and manag-

ers exploiting golf and golfers to

the limit, I am merely one of the

Happy Golfers' Army.

It could be that even these

days with the publicity accent on

the " t ake " rather than on the

"g ive" in golf business, genuine

value to the golfer continues to

be rated by what help the pro

gives amateur golfers, and that

encouragement and assistance

will continue to be well re-

warded materially and respected

by those the pro has served.

The success of the professional

depends primarily on the kind of

a job he gets. And what an acci-

dental element that is, because

so many pro jobs are over-sold.

Young men usually go "b l i nd"

into pro jobs. Some of them are

lads who think pro golf is an easy

way of making a living. They

may be hard-up and take any

sort of a job. This applies to

adept amateurs who come out of

high school or college, can play

fairly well, but not well enough

to go on the tour. They haven't

any idea what a pro job means,

nor do the men who hire them.

These applicants fail to learn

how the previous pro did on the

job, whether he had been com-

petent, diligent and pleasing,

whether he had received patron-

age of the members, and what

The third article in the "Confessions" series takes a long, backward look

at the pro business and asks the question, what is success? A N O N Y M O U S

chances a re of improving the revenue. T h e fellow who is look-ing for the pro job also ought to have a good idea of what the ex-penses are . These days the ex-penses of pro depar tment opera-tion a re grea te r than club offi-cials and members realize and are increasing as members want more service and the pro ' s em-ployees want more money, easy hours and privileges.

Officials and applicants for pro jobs are inclined to think of the job as paying more than it does. You may hear of a pro job yield-ing $25,000 a year before per-sonal income tax. When you stop to analyze the si tuation, there may be 250 active men and wo-men members . That m e a n s the professional has to clear, before taxes, an average of $100 a year per member . And tha t ' s for about a seven month season in midwestern and northern s ta tes . To do tha t , the pro would have to have a membership tha t aver-ages in gross revenue well over $200 a year per member .

Ask the club member , who thinks his pro gets $25,000 a year out of the shop, if the m e m -ber himself spends $200 a year in the shop. N o t many do.

When I first went to the club from which I retired, I was able to learn what the pro depar t -

ment grossed the previous year. I knew something was wrong be-cause the club had the type of membersh ip that wanted the best of everything and was will-ing to pay for first-class mer-chandise, service and instruct ion.

I s tudied the membership , learned what they expected f rom a pro, gave it to them and tripled the business my f irs t year there. The next year, I was of-fered a cont rac t with everything 1 possibly could ask. T h a t was the only wri t ten cont rac t I had in 29 years a t the club.

I'll a d m i t I was lucky in work-ing with and for men and wo-men who were well qualif ied as officials and commi t t ee heads of f irst-class clubs. S o m e persons seem to be a lmost b o m that way. Wi th discreet direct ion and diplomatic education by a pro-fessional whom they realize is a capable and conscient ious spe-cialist, they are invaluable both to their club and to its pro.

Being a pro and a club official have changed great ly. Paper-work now is an expensive part of pro business. Account ing for merchandis ing control , tax, in-surance and employee manage-men t is a big i tem tha t has to be paid for out of the pro ' s revenue for merchandise and lessons, club cleaning and s torage, his salary guarantee and what super-vising golf car opera t ions may yield.

T h e duties and expenses of a modern pro depa r tmen t opera-tion have changed; so now the pro job at a f irst-class club gen-erally is that of a golf director .

Toward the end of my active career , I didn ' t have t ime for as many lessons as I wanted to give or even to play at least nine holes with many of our mem-bers.

I 'd s tar ted in pro golf making clubs and I've never stopped making sure that clubs I sell fit my cus tomers . Learning what the player requires on the lesson tee and by playing with him or her, the experienced professional is able to supply the buyer with valuable, helpful clubs. T h a t type of service f rom a compe ten t pro is wor th a lot of money and s t rokes to his members .

Paving the Way for the

Golfear Bonanza

Now that golf cars are here to stay—and increasing

in numbers—some country clubs have found

that their present car paths are inadequate and

have begun to replace them with concrete paths

B y 1970 it is e s t i m a t e d that in the U n i t e d S t a t e s m o r e than 10,000 public and private golf courses will serve t housands of golf add ic t s , many of whom now are tooling over lush layouts in two-man electric or gasol ine cars . In all bu t a few ins tances the club ga rage or car shelter has replaced the caddie shack or s tockade . This t r ans fe r to mechanizat ion has b rough t new prob lems in course main-tenance to super in tendents .

Wi th the advent of golf cars and their increasing num-bers , primitive car p a t h s began haphazard ly to appear th roughou t the fa i rways of the land. They were m a d e of gravel , chat , s tone or asphal t . A n d p rob lems of main ta in-ing these pa ths increased right along with number s of ca r s using the paths.

However , two coun t ry clubs in T e x a s and one in Okla -h o m a , a t the latest coun t , are trying to r emedy this s i tua-tion by replacing c rumbl ing asphal t t rai ls with concrete .

T h e luxurious Las Col inas C C in Irving, Tex. , located be tween Dallas and Fo r t Wor th and the scene of the 69th Annua l Uni ted S t a t e s W o m e n ' s A m a t e u r Golf champion-ship, ha s built approx imate ly four miles of five- and 10-foot wide concrete car t rai ls during the pas t year . T h e s e trails run f rom tee to green on 15 holes of the course. T h e o the r th ree trails will be built la ter this fall when the golf ing season slows down.

S a m Moore , Las Co l inas pro, says tha t all concre te trails, along with several p res t ressed concre te br idges, have replaced the aspha l t trails, which were put in when the club was organized and built in 1964.

T h e Quail Creek C C , O k l a h o m a Ci ty , organized in 1962, originally built several miles of aspha l t car trails, but is now replacing them with green concre te trails .

continued on page 70

Ridgewood's Otis Beck (opposite) oversees final stages of path con-struction. Next step: Applying wet burlap material to implement curving. Turn-around (far left) near Las Colinas' clubhouse is both de-corative and functional and the No. 15 tee and fairway (top left) is in excellent condition because cars travel only on trails. A green path (above) blends with its sur-roundings and does not mar the view for the residents whose homes border Quail Creek.
