Hopefully, those decisions lead to greater success for the facility and more people playing golf more often and enjoying it more.As someone with a voice in determining how and when to update, renovate or redesign your golf course, what questions should you be asking? Whether a Green Committee member, Superintendent or course Manager, having helpful information is a first step to a finished product that is more playable and profitable. That's where this book comes in.The chapters are intentionally brief for ease of reading and retention.The information provided here comes from men and women with great experience and passion for the game. But there are no universal truths when it comes to golf courses. Since each one is unique, no single approach to tees, greens, bunkers, etc., is "correct." Specifics are different with each course. You are encouraged to talk to your golf course architect and other leaders at your golf course to develop answers that make the best sense for you and your golfers.So, let this book be the start of a conversation.
