FIRST RECORD. 
SUNNINGDALE-FROM HEATHER TO TURF IN 12 MONTHS —BY THE CARTER SYSTEM. 
Sunningdale was turned from a waste of heather into a first-class golf course by the “ Carter 
System ” in twelve months—the first golf course produced entirely from seed. Willie Park, jun., 
the well-known golf course architect, was responsible for the planning and construction (the 
photograph — page 2—gives a fair illustration ot some of his work), and Messrs. Carter for 
the grass seeds (800 bushels), and the course was a complete success from the day it was 
opened eleven years ago. 
We claimed to be able to produce a close, dense, fibrous golfing turf of the finest description 
in a year, and we did it, in spite of the fact that at that time such a feat was generally 
considered impossible.
