Golf construction & maintenance are like creating a masterpiece; Da Vinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa's eyes first..... You start with the backdrop, layer on the detail and fine tune the finished product into a masterpiece

Great find Alan. Here is a similar film:

"Early days of greenkeeping video clips. Video includes Olympia Fields Country Club, Chicago Golf Club, Medinah Country Club, Shoreacres, Ravsiloe and other great Chicago Golf Clubs and an early Midwest Meeting."

Particularly liked the title

'The importance of trees in the classic golf era'

Not a tree to be seen...... funny.
