Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the role of technology in golf course management. States that "constant advancement and evolution in technology have given [superintendents] many tools and avenues with which to work more efficiently, learn new talents and do things better - expanding [their] personal and professional horizons in the process." Cautions that "sometimes...improvements in technology go a bit over the top and actually become a detriment to efficency or enjoyment." Cites CD and medication packaging as examples of "technology...[outweighing] function." States that "the technology of [golf course] equipment and management programs can be pushed beyond the point where they best satisfy the need. Just because the latest greensmowers can be set down to 0.064 doesn't mean they have any business there." |
