| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential golf course maintenance management strategies. Suggests that "the better a piece of equipment looks and operates, the more pride...employees take in operating it. Equipment operators treat good looking, finely-tuned equipment with respect and take good care of it." Mentions working with inherited equipment and suggests checking "the overall use of hours on...turf maintenance equipment." Also suggests setting a replacement point for machinery. Profiles equipment maintenance strategies employed at North Scott School Community School District in Iowa, stating that "in addition to...athletic field and turf maintenance equipment, [the staff maintains] 38 school buses and a small vehicle fleet consisting of two pickup trucks, one dump truck, six vans, one currier van and three maintenance vehicles." |
