| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential areas on the golf course to consider when cutting costs, stating that "facilities that have to make big reductions in expenses are almost certainly going to have to reduce the number of hours spent on taking care of the course. The obvious step is to look for areas in which labor hours can be reduced without hurting the playing quality or long-term agronomic health of the course." Suggests minimizing bunker maintenance, stating the "the combination of minimal bunker maintenance (monthly edging to define the margin and weekly raking to prevent weeds from taking hold) and golfer willingness to smooth the bunker after use can save many thousands of dollars in labor costs for all but the most minimally maintained courses." |
