Abstract/Contents:Proposes the idea that "the past realities of [the golf course] industry are history," that economic impacts may be causing irreversible changes to the industry. Suggests that "when revenue no longer equals or exceeds expenses, something will definitely adjust." Discusses income adjustments and its ensuing impact on budgets for irrigation, chemicals, and course crew sizes. Provides recommendations for areas that may see budget cuts without negative results and concludes that "those of us who persist through the paradigm shift in the golf economy will be thinking and acting outside the box...Those unwilling to adapt will be casualties of change."
