Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of tracking golf course maintenance expenses. States that these records are beneficial because they can be used for communicating with management, tracking expenses, justifying program costs, and assisting with budgeting. States that this collected data can be used to find ways to cut funding for lower priority tasks such as bunker and rough maintenance to allow for more money to be put towards green and fairway maintenance. Mentions that this data is able to show the effects that unpredicted events such as poor weather or a fungal infection can have on the budget, and that it can also be shown to members when they compare surrounding facilities to the course, or begin to question expenditures. |
