Abstract/Contents:Suggests footwear and garments that may increase comfort while working on a golf course. States that a "[superintendent's] feet bear witness to multiple footwear changes on any given day in the temperate season." Mentions the use of low top Muck Boots, sandals in the summer, insulated hiking boots in the spring and fall, and insulated snow boots in the winter. States that "a dry foot is a warm food is a comfortable foot." Reports that "two things are critical for proper shoe management": a boot dryer and multiple pairs of removable insulation liners. Mentions the importance of layering and suggests that "upper body protection may include layers of light jackets, sweatshirts, vests and half-sleeve wind shirts." Also mentions the use of rain suits and insulated jackets for the green staff. States that "each employee working the months of April, May, September and October are given warm bib overalls to fend off the cool temperatures."
