| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses maintenance and longevity of golf course hardware, paths, sand bunkers, greens, and teeing grounds. States that "the selection of appropriate materials, correct installation and good aftercare have a profound influence on [the life expectency of golf course components]." Concludes that "golf courses not only evolve but they also deteriorate without the necessary level of investment. Clubs which forget this simple premise can find themselves in a situation of having to fund many projects at the same time in order to just maintain the status quo. Greenkeepers have a natural passion for their work and often invest their life and soul into their golfocurse, but some finanacial planning is of equal importance in the sustainability of the golf course." |
