Question:""What is a reasonable number of people to keep our maintenance staff during the winter months? We are in northern, seasonal climate and are always watching our budget.""
Source of Question:Wyoming
Answer/Response:""This question is commonly asked of superintendents by members of the Green Committee or Board of Directors, particularly when there is snow on the ground and the budget is tight. Most 18-hole golf courses located in the northern U.S. keep an average of 3-4 employees in addition to the mechanic and superintendent during the winter to perform annual maintenance on equipment, monitor conditions across the golf course, remove snow from roads and parking areas, and handle golf course setup duties when conditions warrant winter play. An exact number depends upon specific requirements, including extensive snow plowing, accumulating debris from trees, etc., when the course is open to play, and any in-house projects. Some courses are fortunate to have talented staff that can conduct in-house improvement projects to the golf course or grounds, resulting in significant savings to the club.""
