Stephen Okula, CGCS said: My greens are fairly brimming with good health. Penncross/Poa mix, they are mowed at .125", dense and free of disease, insects, or weeds. They roll as smoothly as glass, true as you like, and stimping 10'-10'6".
The members want to bring in a consultant to figure out what I'm doing wrong because the greens are so slow.
Steve,
Ask yourself a question, do the members (regular golfers like you). Does the rest of the management team respect you, with an extra nod from the Golf professional.
If you answer to yourself honestly that should give you the time a job could last.
95% of all golfers (regulars) on its own 7 to 20 years okay 5% Per year = 20 Years.
90% 5 to 10 years. Etc.
97% to 100% does not exist, but if truly you believe 100% more problems are happening here.
Yes : No Management team helps shore up or knock it down some 20%
Yes: No Staff works for you they will make or break you at any time. 30%
Yes: No Golf professional (most influential person on a course) 50%
Yes; then that 20 plus could happen:
If No; then look at plus or minus 7 years mark:
Other questions are, any I doing a good job or just coming to work.
How many times have I been married 1 , 2, 3+ then if more than 2 why yours or hers problem.
Was this job a great fit, or just a job with no intent on staying forever.
A lot more factors I am sure could come into play each with a lesser effect in most cases.
Good Luck to who ever this was about.
