| Abstract/Contents: | States "The Golf Course Builders Association (GCBAA) is a nonprofit trade association of the world's foremost golf course builders and suppliers." Explains that "the GCBAA has been very busy...with the American Society of Golf Course Arechitects (ASGCA) and have put together a one-page chart Golf Course Items: Expeted Life Cycle...This chart can help [one] guide...decision makers into what needs to be done now and in the future." Explains "another key publication that the GCBAA has been involved with is the Guide to Estimating Cost for Golf Course Construction. In order to promote accurate understanding of golf course construction costs, the GCBAA periodically surveys its members to determine average minimum and maximum prices for 25 line items." Reports that both the GCBAA and the Midwest Association of Golf Course Superintendents (MAGCS) "realized that they could provide valuable insight and experience to help each other reach their primary goals." States that "Tim Anderson keyed in on the importance of the superintendent's involvement from the beginning of a renovation of construction...Tim also explained that one must market to the membership the entire process of the renovation and make sure they understand it will not be perfect of opening day." States that, "Tim also stressed that a project can take as long as three years to finish: First Year: One needs to sell the project to the membership. Second Year: Start getting the permits for the project. Third Year: Actually building/renovating the course." Discusses the relationship between the superintendent, architect and contractor. Sugessts "starting very early on the permit process so that one does not have delays during the construction phase." Also discusses possible benefits of digital photography to "create a visual expectation of what the course will look like during the various phases of the project." |
