Abstract/Contents:Discusses ways in which golf course superintendents are able to save money while course budgets are being cut. Suggests that establishing a good working relationship between superintendents and their superiors can help with budgeting. Warns that a superintendent viewing the course as his own rather than belonging to a club's members or owners can cause problems in creating this sort of relationship. Lists ways in which a course's budget can potentially be lowered, including the creation of naturalized areas near the course, increasing intervals between bunker maintenance, and reducing purchases of new equipment. Concludes that while budgets may need to be cut, "course conditions, from a golfer's perspective, is no. 1. That's what gets golfers back and keeps them energized."
