Abstract/Contents: | Offers suggestions for planning golf course renovations. States that "budgets, quality, schedules, and members' expectations can all suffer if preparations are not complete." Defines restoration as "returning the feature (green, bunker, tee, etc.) to its original design" whereas "the term 'renovation' can be applied to any work on the course that attempts to improve challenge, playability, aesthetics, maintenance or safety." Discusses how to set a set a timeline and choose a contractor. Also discusses how to store and dispose of renovation materials and how to avoid damage to the irrigation system. Concludes that "renovations are all about planning...Surprises will happen, but precise planning throughout the process can make those surprises a lot easier to handle." |
