Abstract/Contents: | Describes how Brooklea Golf & Country Club in Midland, Ontario, Canada, works with a small maintenance budget. Focuses on labor, stating "first and foremost, I treat my staff as human beings, giving them the same respect I expect in return." Mentions "time saving ideas which enable more work to be accomplished" such as starting earlier in the day. Also focuses on improvements gained from being active in superintendents' associations and mowing of the tees with the greensmower." Stresses the importance of course tidiness, and describes the installation of a drainage network. |
