Abstract/Contents:Discusses how to handle "boards, committees, and managers in the very emotional world of member-owned country clubs." Describes how clubs are different from other recreational facilities, including that "club staffs have limited and fluctuating authority when dealing with long-tenure, repeat customers who, as owner-members, have a substantial emotional and financial interest." Discusses the need communicate information effectively to all people involved in the club. Also desribes the immediate and long term benefits of a monthly report. Concludes that "the main purpose of this article is to encourage superintendents to realize the benefits of becoming more skilled in the arena of interaction with members, their committees and boards, and other members of the management team. As with all skills, this will go with you wherever you work. What's more important, their use will increase the likelihood that your opinion that the course is in good condition will be accepted, as well as your recommendations on what is required if it isn't."
