Hartwiger and Horvath were in difficult spots, because their professional reputations hinge on providing objective analysis.

The closing arguments featured different approaches. Hartwiger explained changes since that led to Bermudagrass greens becoming a more viable option in the state. The three waves of change, according to Hartwiger: 1.
Courses wanting to escape doom cycles caused by a variety of factors such as poor construction, small budgets and a lack of manpower; 2. Courses wanting to peak regularly instead of just at key periods; 3. Courses wanting to switch grasses as part of major renovations. There is no right or wrong answer to this debate. Everything is site specific and case specific. The biggest element for success are the people maintaining the turf. But I also believe we have mostly ourselves to blame.
The author lists 21 traits of a great teammate, from which I found eight that have particular significance for what we do, where we do it and who we do it with. In a nutshell, being a good teammate means giving and earning respect. As you read these eight traits, ask yourself if you are doing all you can to be a great teammate. Do you set the tone?

How good are you at influencing those around you? Then, working side by side with your crew, you must show them you know how to reach your stated goals. The better your course looks and plays, the more people will seek you out for your opinions, your expertise, and perhaps other jobs and opportunities. You gain respect as you prove yourself, which leads to more chances to be regarded as an expert.
Be involved. Talk to and listen to members. Accept industry challenges. Speak up on important topics. Take a stance. Again, lead by example, by working longer and harder than anyone else. Work hard, and work smart. Hungry: The hungrier you are, the more you can improve.

The golf course length on the PGA tour covers around 7, yards which is 4. A PGA player on an average plays about 78 rounds in a year spanning miles a season.

This distance does not include travelling across the car parking areas or clubhouses. If these places are included in the calculation, then the distance increases by 1 kilometer. This takes the total average distance to around 9.
No wonder you may feel very tired after each round. Of course, these are not absolute figures but are estimates. These figures are calculated by using fitness apps or smart GPS watches to calculate the total distance covered and calories burnt during a game. On average it will take 4 hours to walk a standard 18 hole golf course from beginning to end. The time it takes to walk along a course from start to finish will differ for each person.
The size of the course, number of players, your skill level, will all add to the total duration. Walking an hole golf course usually means covering 5,, meters.
