| Abstract/Contents: | The author, through the use of comparing different averages normally found in general sports and likening them to a superintendents maintenance average has proposed the notion that golfers have set such high standards for their golf courses that maintaining these standards is difficult, expensive, and sometimes impossible to achieve. He goes on further to bring to light the fact that superintendents have a exceptionally high batting average when compared to even the greatest hitters. "So, look at your golf course. My message to course officals reading this opinion is not to be so concerned if the golf course superintendent bats only .998. After all, this equates to losing about 200 sq. ft. of turf, a 10 ft. by 20 ft. area of greens or tees and 2,640 sq. ft. of fairways, or .06 of an acre." |
