Discusses several specific areas including labor, and states that "labor is the biggest line item in virtually any budget, generally consuming 50% to 70% of golf course budget." Also discusses overtime, golfer expectations, material costs and weather. Concludes that "the bottom line is that if [one] spends less, [one] should expect less." |
