The topics I've chosen to illustrate in this book are a real-world litany of the most common failures and real successes that I have confronted firsthand over decades of my actual business experience. Through many years I have turned to my writing for shear survival - for myself, colleagues, and employers. I have used the written word as a substantial tool in order to teach and convince others about how to stop failing and to inspire achieving success on golf courses. I've drawn every topic from actual business occurrences that have been observed or managed over my career of turning around failures into achievements and successful golf course businesses. Successfully learning to control costs and increase profits in food and beverage will also prepare you to directly manage control of the subtle facets of fertilizer costs for the golf course - and vice versa. The demanding maintenance methods and practices used for high-performance military aircraft are exactly transferable for successful golf course management. There exists considerable crossover in both the sciences and arts that must be applied to golf course business management, including physics and chemistry, as well as the arts and concepts of design. One can learn and apply management information from scuba diving and corporate management to food & beverage, and to golf course management. There are fundamental reasons that golf and turfgrass management employ generally archaic technology - changing from the archaic will provides better service and profits. There are logical reasons why perpetual, continuing education, and staff training will then require much less management oversight. Going forward, golf will only its full prosperity if the archaic, traditional compartmentalization of redundant management job positions can be tossed aside to allow individuals with multiple skill sets to be unloosed allowing businesses to profit. Today golf courses in every geographic region of the world absolutely need to employee fewer staff as developed nations depopulate and labor scarcity increases. Managers must also be individuals - simultaneously capable of wearing many professional hats with high proficiency."--Amazon description.  |u https://www.amazon.com/GOLF-OPERATIONS-BUSINESS-MANAGEMENT-Lessons/dp/B0CRNZHP94
