| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golfer expectations, highlighting the experiences of several golf course superintendents. States that "from 10 factors most likely to determine their enjoyment of a round, those golfers, the game's busiest and best customers, ranked the state of greens and bunkers No. 1. Who they play was third. Meanwhile, shooting a good score dawdled in, tied for seventh." Suggests that "the conditions out on the golf course dictate...mindset...consider that No. 2 on the Golf Digest survey was 'well-maintained fairways and tees.'" |
