What type of lawnmowers did they use to use to mow golf putting greens before gasoline powered ones?

Ok here’s the thing: I play golf and there’s an open space of long grass by my house. I would like to mow myself a putting green, but I cannot afford a high end lawnmower for greens that golf courses use. They obviously use to use reel mowers at some point in the past and so I would like to know the type of reel mowers they use to use and attempt to buy one.
