| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential changes in strategy with regards to hiring and managing golf course personnel, suggesting that "whether assigned to a modest public course or a world-famous private one, golf course superintendents face a nearly universal challenge these days: making things happen with smaller budgets than in the past." States that "over the first three quarters of 2010, golf rounds across the country were down 3.6 percent from the same period last year, according to a Golf Datatech report." Highlights potential ways to adjust hiring expectations, advising that "when money gets tight, superintendents first need to step back and reassess what constitutes success." Focuses on planning, budget usage, and hiring profile modification, recommending that "in the long-term, keeping payroll costs down and morale up is apt to involve a gradual makeover for the maintenance team." |
