| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses skills that may be useful for a golf course superintendent to posses. States that "strong organizational and communication skills, along with a knack for solving problems, help propel a career." Also states that "knowing the customer is one of the most critical tools to success in any business - espcially in...times of splintered specialites." Recommends young superintendents play golf so "that they might understand the true madness that feeds the business. It is not possible to simply provide beautiful golf surroundings and collect your check until retirement day - it is necessary to live and walk among the golf tribe. One has to 'go native' to understand why golfers make such overbearing standards, resist essential cultural practices and suffer pseudo-coronaries at the slightest sound while putting." |
