Having a great summer, and hope you are too. A pretty full issue this

There's a lot, so let's get right to it.

* Question of the Month
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I get asked golf-related questions all the time. Here's a few that I recently couldn't answer. If you know the answer, please email me, and I'll pass it on.
1. Who said the following quote: "Golf is a better game played downhill"
2. I am a green committee member at Seleter Country Club of Singapore. We are planting bermuda on our putting green but the grass does not grow well & not in good shape. I hope you can help me to obtain books or articles which can guide me to understand more about maintenance of bermuda-grass.
Please send responses (with reference to the question) to: golfprohelp@gmail.com
