Its not enough to make your golf course beautiful. You also have to make the economics work in a world of limited resources.
The truth is, golf course management today is as much about financial statements, accounting information and satisfying appropriations committees, as it is about controlling grubs and dollar spot.
For todays general managers and superintendents, golf course maintenance is now a matter of Turfonomics.
Turfonomics for Superintendents
You know how you want your course to look and how you want it to play. The trouble is making it happen with an ever-shrinking budget. And while your budget shrinks, owner and golfer expectations remain high.
The solution begins with purchasing equipment that spends more time on the course than in the shop. It also requires user-friendly designs that allow anyone on a crew to achieve consistent results quickly and easily. Plus, it takes a range of equipment choices that prove their financial worth day after day, year in and year out.
For todays superintendents, success is a matter of simple Turfonomics.
Turfonomics for General Managers
When making significant investments, you recognize the importance of analyzing factors beyond the initial acquisition cost. You understand that cutting corners to save money in the short-term whether you are talking about your personal property or your golf course expenditures can end up costing more in the long run. As the old adage says, You can pay me now, or you can pay me [even more] later.
When it comes to maintenance equipment, lower-priced equipment may look good on a spreadsheet today, but what is the cost of ownership over time? Is the product engineered to last? Is it supplied by a company with a time-proven track record of reliability, outstanding service, and standing steadfastly behind their products? Is it supported by an industry-leading distribution network? Will it deliver results that put players on your course today and keep them coming back tomorrow?
For general managers, the decision is simple Turfonomics.
Turfonomics for Golfers
Golfers care how a course looks. They care about the condition of the greens. They care that everything is maintained to high standards. They just dont want to pay higher membership dues or greens fees to get those results.
Which means that the courses played by those golfers need to be models of efficiency. Usually, these are the courses that provide their maintenance crews with reliable tools that save both time and effort, so the course looks beautiful and provides an outstanding golf experience in any economy.
All of which is incredibly appealing to golfers many of whom have budgets with as little flexibility as yours.
For everyone involved, its simple Turfonomics.
