Book excerpt: The sport of golf is a popular choice for individuals looking to spend their increased free time. Golf is viewed as both a recreational and competitive sport; however, many sports and recreation professionals are not aware of the risks posed by the sport of golf. This lack of awareness creates a false sense of security for professionals and recreational golfers. The risks (e.g. personal injury, property damage, real estate issues, employment concerns, and discrimination) often result in litigaton that is costly in both time and money. This litigation can often be prevented through sound risk management practices and programs. Every golf course is a complex business venture with corresponding complex business-related problems. These problems typically include real estate issues, employment matters, premises liability, discrimination, and negligence. Golf and the Law assists golf course managers in avoiding lawsuits and preventing needless personal injury and property damage. The book is divided into two major sections. The first section reviews a number of important legal concepts and relates each concept to the management of a golf course. The second section specifically outlines common types of litigation that have been aimed at golf courses. Finally, the book outlines a variety of risk management strategies to assist the golf course manager in making the golf course a safe place for participants, employees, and neighbors. "Throughout the work [Sawyer] offers advice on avoiding liability by instituting proper risk management procedures. In extensive appendixes readers will find checklists, sample forms, and other useful information for the golf course manager." -- Legal Information ALERT

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Golf is a series of two books with a passionate focus on creating value for the golfer based on a foundation that produces a return on an investment for the golf course owner. The Business of Golf What Are You Thinking? functions as a primer for avid golfers, college students in Professional Golf Management Programs, and golf industry professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge on the fundamentals of the golf industry and operating a golf course. This book garnered widespread appeal, due to its singularity as a source that provides strategic, tactical, and operational guidance, It has been purchased in over 16 countries and is used by 15 universities and colleges in their curriculums. In contrast to the basic primer, The Business of Golf Why? How? What?, first published in 2013, caters to the seasoned industry professional. The book guides a golf course management team in creating a strategic vision, determining the resources to be allocated and the policies and procedures that require consistent execution, accompanied with 21 templates that can be licensed at www.golfconfergence.com. Both of these books represents over a decade of research conducted in partnership with golf courses worldwide. The perspective contained in both addresses comprehensible and executable principals that encompass a diverse range of subjects including architecture, agronomy, intellectual property, rate structures, social media, water utilization and yield management. While the insights presented are clear, the analysis undertaken was extensive. The principles in these books formed an integral part of a Clemson University Ed. D.D. dissertation in which 11 leading golf course managers operating 34 golf courses vetted and validated the principals herein contained. Assurance of identifying the potential of a facility resides in the application of the books' concepts. These books help the golf course management team and staff develop a focused and disciplined approach based on quantitative data to identify and mitigate the impact of uncontrollable factors (economy, location and weather). From understanding these fundamentals, the controllable factors can be leveraged to enhance each golfer's qualitative experience while ensuring a positive financial return on investment to the golf course stake-holders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete guidelines to developing and maintaining the most effective, environment-friendly irrigation systems for golf courses Golf Course Irrigation offers valuable insight on the design, installation, management, and maintenance of irrigation systems-the most important management tool used on today's golf courses. Without manufacturers' bias, this useful resource provides hands-on guidance to the highest quality irrigation systems, including specifications and applications of the best pump stations, controllers, sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves, sensors, and other components that make the difference in top-quality irrigation systems. Typically regarded as significant users of water, golf courses are under increasing scrutiny by governmental and environmental groups, making it essential that the up-to-date information found here-on such topics as water supply, plant irrigation requirements, application uniformity, and construction management-be at the fingertips of every golf course professional. While fostering the best playing conditions, these systems conserve water and energy with such technology as low-pressure heads and controls that use "if/then" logic to automatically adjust to changing conditions, which can improve playability while saving money. Golf Course Irrigation is a practical tool to help golf course architects, builders, superintendents, irrigation consultants, designers, and installers to improve aesthetics and playing conditions in the face of diminishing natural resources. It is also an informative reference for golf course owners, developers, local officials, students, and fans of the game.
