ASGCA provides cost saving tips

The American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) has released a new flyer designed to help golf course owners and managers balance short-term expenses with long-term expectations by focusing on the cost of maintaining a golf course.

Developed with the Golf Course Builders Association of America and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, the new flyer features two dozen specific ideas that can assist course owners and managers in controlling costs while providing a fun, challenging, environmentally-sensitive playing field for golfers.

“All businesses need to balance short-term expenses with long-term expectations,” said ASGCA President Erik Larsen. “ASGCA is proud to work alongside GCBAA and GCSAA on this easy-to-read piece. We hope this flyer can also serve as a starting point for discussions among golf course owners, managers and players on maintaining their course for years to come.”

The Cost Factor can be downloaded free of charge from www.asgca.org, or contact ASGCA at +1 262 786 5960.
