Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the Milorganite Symposium which "gave attendees many different looks at the golf industry's shoulder season from an agronomic, financial and weather perspective." States that "the warming of the earth, regardless of how it is caused will bring [Wisconsin] warmer and wetter summers with more instability and heavy rain days." Suggests that "during stress times of summer, mowing heights need to be raised to .125 to .140 [inches]." Explains that "the superintendent must be part of the overall management team and aware of how their club attracts and keeps customers." Explains that course audits and written maintenance standards "provide the superintendent with a detailed job description and reduce outside suggestions from well minded members, chairman and other employees." |
