Abstract/Contents:Overviews the golf industry in Hawaii, stating that "on the chain of Islands of Hawaii there are about 50 golf courses, more than half of the total in the state are on Oahu." Profiles the Oahu Country Club, noting that "it was started in 1906 and only a few holes at a time were built." Suggests that it is more difficult to manage and maintain a course in Hawaii, and lists the problems that Hawaiian golf courses face including year-round bug problems, fungus problems, and the fact that golf courses are open all year round, which necessitates a 12 month maintenance program. Details other management practices performed at Oahu CC, including weed control and verti-cutting. Mentions the budgeting system used at the Club, noting that "labor is 70% of the budget."
