| Question: | "Developing maintenance standards, time studies, and a set of long-range plans requires a fair amount of time and energy to produce. Are they really worth the trouble?" |

| Source of Question: | Washington D.C. |

| Answer/Response: | "Golf course superintendents are business managers and should have a set of formal maintenance standards as to how the golf course will be maintained on a daily basis. When adhered to properly, maintenance standards provide protection from spur-of-the-moment changes to the maintenance program, and this provides continuity in golf course conditioning from year to year. Time studies help justify labor and machinery needs to provide the level of conditioning specified in the maintenance standards. Long-range plans provide a time frame as to when certain items should be replaced or when important projects should take place. This allows the membership time to plan for renovations and raise the funds necessary to complete those tasks. Obviously, it is important to have membership involvement with and adherence to the maintenance standards from year to year, and involving members should be one of the first tasks of each newly elected Green Committee." |
