| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Waren Gietz, superintendent of Northern Meadows, near the Alberta border in Canada. States that "the success of Northern Meadows comes from maintaining the course to standards found at wealthier private clubs." Describes how the owners "have literally saved the club thousands of dollars...[by creating] detachers, vacuums, sweepers, sprayers and rollers - all from scratch." States that "Northern Meadows' bunkering is used sparingly both to influence strategy and to enhance esthetics." Mentions that "a large part of our smooth operations comes from staff training." States that "some of the things we do right daily...these little things add up to the big picture, and people notice." Describes how Gietz chooses his staff, stating that "having the right people involved makes all the difference, no matter what the budget." Concludes that Gietz "has no plans to move beyond Northern Meadows, but he is confident enough in himself and what he has done." Explains how Frank Sopracolle, Joseph Sopracolle, and Ken Olan changed their 234 acres of pastureland/forest into a golf course. |
