Abstract/Contents:Profiles turfgrass equipment managers, emphasizing their potential importance to the management of golf courses. Suggests that "it takes a load off the backs of golf course superintendents to have turfgrass equipment managers (TEM) who implement preventative maintenance on golf course equipment so that everything runs smoothly." Highlights the large role that machinery plays in the maintenance of golf courses, reporting that "sophisticated equipment fleets oftentimes exceed $1 million for an average golf course." Describes equipment repairs, knowledge requirements and additional skills that many TEM possess, and mentions the long-term cost savings of employing an equipment manager. Concludes that "TEMs are extremely valuable and necessary components of successful golf course operations."
