At some point during the 1920's, many courses started using a Cotton Seed Hull surfaces for their greens.
Has anyone played a course with this kind of putting surface? What are/were they like?
Was this an "improvement" that was marketed by a particular company? Were they easier to maintain than Grass or Sand greens?
Were they suited for particular environments (drier climates), and as agronomy and irrigation techniques advanced did these greens go by the wayside?
