Abstract/Contents:Explains that "as many superintendents travel along their career paths, my unfortunate observation is that a significant number begin to enjoy work less" and that "some even seem to adopt a 'me against them' attitude when it comes to relationships with golfers, coworkers, and employees." Suggests that such an attitude is detrimental to a superintendent's performance. Lists 6 attributes that are shared by five of the most successful superintendents known by the author, including "they have lives outside the golf course," "they spend their employer's money as if it were their own," "they rely strongly on basic turfgrass management principles," "these five men know a lot about the game of golf," these guys know who they look for,"and "finally, every one of these five men make it known that they enjoy their work."
