Abstract/Contents:Describes a "surplus of assistant superintendent positions" in Georgia. Discusses potential reasons for the surplus, including that younger employees in Generation Y "[want] and [need] to see continued growth at a rate that does not equal what the golf course management industry...offers." Also suggests that salary may turn away potential assistant superintendents. States that "regardless of the reason, the gap in the number of assistant superintendents in the golf industry in Georgia is undeniable."
