Abstract/Contents:Discusses the potential of economic changes in 2009 and 2010 to permanently affect golf course maintenance practices. Reports that during the 1990s and early 2000s "there were an increasing number of golfers, new course construction, and strong revenue streams at golf facilities of all types." Suggests that during the latter half of 2000-10 "golf course budgets have generally decreased, and important cultural practices have been scaled back." Suggests the existence of a "'new' normal" for golf course maintenance and golf operations, advising that "the number of golf courses (supply) must be further reduced to better align with play (demand)." States that "maintaining golf courses during the last golf boom was reflective of the times - somewhat extravagant and rarely sustainable," explaining that "this should not be viewed as normal."
