Abstract/Contents: | Addresses how the economic downturn has affected the golf industry and its business operations, claiming that " the basics of the game have not changed, but the economic climate has brought a new reality to the industry." Recommends various responses in turf management such as ensuring that the course is fun, that maintenance is functional, and the staff is fiscally responsible. Suggests removing bunkers that are unnecessary or inconvenient to handicap players, and making proper cultivar assessments to "reduce the risk of catastrophic turf loss in the summer months." Concludes that "these changes are crucial not only for immediate survival, but also for positioning golf courses to prosper in the future by developing more efficient ways to provide a good product to the customer." |
