Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential ways to balance playing conditions with budgetary needs, suggesting that "superintendents are coping with the increasing costs of fuel, equipment, and chemicals, along with the expectations, realistic or not, of their employers, members, and customers." Briefly profiles the efforts in this regard of Todd Doering, superintendent for Rockway and Doon Valley golf clubs in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Reports that "I haven't used an insecticide at either place in 10 years, and we've certainly had our problems with insects. It's a matter of finding a higher threshold and trying to find different ways of managing them." Also provides advice from the superintendents of Madawaska Golf Club in Ottawa, Canada and Oakfield Golf and Country Club in Fall River, Nova Scotia. |
