| Abstract/Contents: | Describes how Essex County Club, Manchester, MA, uses scaled maps of the golf course as place mats in the grillroom. Explains that the staff uses the maps to point out any irregularities observed on the course. States that "the maps are also used to coordinate a wide array of operations throughout the property. Everything from tree removal, bunker work, controlled burns, drainage, and pesticide and fertilizer applications are diagramed on the mats...Another important use of the maps is charting pest activity, pesticide and fertilizer applications, renovation work, and other projects to provide a historical reference." States that "mapping is a valuable and multifaceted tool for any golf course operation. The simple map derived from the place mats at Essex County Club has proven to be a very effective and inexpensive tool for training new employees, improving communication, eliciting staff input, documenting maintenance activities, and working with local conservation and municipal authorities." |
