| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential role of the golf course superintendent in "alleviating much of the industry's slow-play dilemma." Mentions the potential impact of golf course maintenance practices on the pace-of-play, stating that "a member survey found that 94 percent of golfers preferred the club's greens to roll at 10 feet on the Stimpmeter." Concludes that "truly improving the pace-of-play issues requires more than an effort of one or two people; these solutions demand a team effort between ownership, management, golf professionals, superintendents and their respective staffs." |
