| Question: | "Superintendents typically prepare budgets based on line items for various spending categories. However, I have no idea how this translates to money spent on primary playing areas. I've also been informed that I need to decrease the course operating budget by 10%. How do I show the Green Committee where the money is going, and what is my best way to prioritize those dollars?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Using your maintenance objectives, prioritize the playing areas in order to importance. Most golf courses rank the playing areas in the following order: putting greens, fairways and green slopes, tees, rough, and hazards. Some superintendents also break out the budget percentages into the playing area categories. This method can help show the Green Committee where the money is allocated and how it is prioritized. Do not begin by reducing maintenance on the high priority areas. Instead, target intensive tasks in the areas of low priority. The golf course may not have as many finishing touches, but quality on the important playing areas will not suffer." |
