Abstract/Contents: | Discusses common areas where golf course staff members make maintenance errors. Describes mistakes made on the greens and in the bunkers. States that "damage, especially avoidable (human error) damage, leads to frustration and results in unplanned expenditure for turf repair and recovery. When this can be eliminated, the operation is more efficient and effective at meeting course preparation goals." Concludes that "all employees should be offered some level of feedback regarding the finished product of their work. No doubt, there will always be a need to fine-tune procedures and techniques." |
