[edit]Description"New Type Grass Mower for Golf Courses", 23 November 1943 (5940961058).jpg |
"With lawn mowers something unheard of in the South Pacific combat zone, fairways and greens of the Yankee Bee Country Club are kept "mowed" by CGK (Chief Greens Keeper), "Jimmy", a three-month old goat. A Sea Bee unit, builders of this unusual course traded one can of chow to a Marine Corps Sergeant for the pet goat. Jimmy proved to be one of the most valuable investments for this unique golf course. At first he ate grass everywhere, except in the space desired but now he has been tied with a 50 foot rope to the area desired to be trimmed and each day moved a different spot."
