H e and I frequently debated the question, butI could never convince him thatanyone could become a superintendent, but that only an artistwith special talents could becomea greenkeeper. It is not stretchingthe truth too much to say thatLeonard came to us because hispredecessor, a superintedent recruited from a steel plant, hadreached the logical conclusionthat if 100 pounds per acre ofammonium sulphate was good,1,000 pounds per acre would be10 times better.Many of my friends are golfcourse superintendents.
