Abstract/Contents: | "Course superintendents take every possible step (cultural practices) to prevent course destruction. These practices cost money and are proving next to useless now that courses are being over played during winter. Most clubs 'play at any cost' policies make it impossible for superintendents to close the courses, because there is no collective policy to do so. They are frightened they will lose members and green-fee players to clubs that stay open. Most clubs are aware of the problem but do not know how to address it without losing revenue." |
