| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses member expectations for private golf courses. Suggests that golfers are becoming more fond of "firm and fast" course conditions, and that if conditions meet these standards, "they don't mind if there's a little bit of brown out there." States that "the key is to show the improved playability, and to help the members understand that the grass is still fine." Notes that the increasing average age of golf course members makes catering to multiple generations more difficult. Suggests that golf course dress codes may need to be changed in order to become more appealing to younger members. |
