| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "regardless of the reasons for reduced golf revenues, most superintendents face the difficult challenge of achieving a high level of course conditioning under severe budget limitations to meet the expectations of golfers who are generally paying higher dues or higher green fees each season." Discusses budgeting options for courses experiencing reduced revenues, explaining that "when data are accurate, you can prioritize maintenance operations, and the time/labor study provides valuable information to golfers and your supervisor just how a budget cut will affect play." Provides other factors to consider when budgeting, focusing on employee multitasking and the potential need for bunker condition expectations to be "more reasonable." |
