Maybe wh n you think of George S.May and hi Tam O'Shant r CC on thenorthw st corn r of Chicago, you think ofthe tournam nt pros hitting the jackpotand a thr e-rtng circus of pro and ama-t ur m n and women stars in the Tambig annual tournament or Georg's "Sun-rise in th Grand Canyon" shirts. "Golfis a h 11 of a lot f fun to that guy andsince he's willing to pay for it, why not?"you may think and 1 t it go at that.

But you don't know the canny G orgieback-stag. H applies to his countryclub th ideas of bu in s managementhis organization ells to its industrialclients. Ther are a lot of details in thoseidea but th y all boil down to "if youan't make money at it, don't do it."Although most privat country clubs

ar organiz d "not for profit" none ofthem y t has found it isn't wise to havea good piec of cash on the right sidof th I dger. om of th m aIr ady haveb en disillusioned thinking th y w remaking enough in th fat years to financeoverdu improvem nt and r habilitationwork. Wh n costs mount d higher thanthe funds ear-marked for th work thofficial and members were sharply re-minded that a country club i a busin ssrun for the njoyment of its memb rs.

George S. May 1 arn d that the hardway. He took Tam O'Shanter ov rafterthe club had experi nc d depr ssions, fir sand th usual routin of oth r adversiti s.He' put more than a million dollar intothe plant and that wasn't don ju t 0good f llow could com in and haveGeorg pour mor money in to njoytheir company. H built Tam o'Shanter asa privat membership golf plant thatwould be a ound inv stm nt.

May found, as innum rabl club offi-ials hav discover d b fore him, that a

course and a clubhouse may draw bu i-nes but if people won't spend when th yare at the club the initiation fee anddu s won't tak care of operating ex-p ns s.

H wrestled with the hou e problemfor years and in 1945 put into effect theplan that has achieved what almost everyclub wants-members using the clubmor.

Th plan simply was to have a "Mini-mum Sp nding House Account" whichcall d for regular members being chargeda minimum of 20 a month for house ac-count. Social, limited and women mem-b rs were to spend a minimum of 10 amonth. Limited m mb rs at Tam aretho who do not have golf privilegesSaturday, Sunday or holidays.

Now th mimmum 30 a month forall classes.

That's b caus the plan worked.It did ease out some m mb rs, but not

many. Analy is of hous accounts beforeth plan wa adopted showed that 22-}of the 297 regular members had houseaccoun in xc ss of the minimum, 22 ofth 73 r maining had hous account ofmor than 200 a year, and only 51 hadhous accounts of 1 s than 200 a year.

With food costs, wages and other op r-ating xp ns onstantly incr a ing, thecountry club ha th probl m of makinga d licat balance based on steady, highvolum of r staurant and bar busin s .Th country club member eats away fromhome fairly oft n and usually nt rtainsfar more than the non-club memb r.

Being aA

Pro Means BeingBusinessman

By EMIL BECK

Professional-Superintendent, Black River Country club, Port Huron, Mich.

. Any way you look at it, professional golfIS a business. A fellow who gets into progolf as a home club pro has to study andwork to qualify himself so he can discoverchances for improvement in every phase ofhis club's operation or he can't say that heis a success as a golf businessman.

By that I certainly don't mean that thepro should go around making it his busi-ness to find room for improvement in thecourse and house operations if there is acompetent greenkeeper and an able man-ager on the job. But he can, tactfully andhelpfully aid these other department headsby passing on to his team-mates such in-formation as he picks up from membersand observes in getting around to otherclubs.

When the pro is in charge of the entireplant or of the outside operations of coursemaintenance and landscaping, as well asrunning the golf activities at the club, hemust have business judgment and knowl-edge of a specialized nature as well as goodgeneral business training. All he has to dois to look at the figures of the club's invest-ment and annual revenue and he will bereminded that the golf business is no placefor an untrained amateur.

In my own case, 15 or 16 years ago Iread in GOLFDOM advising the youngerpro to make a serious study of coursemaintenance if he wanted to be qualifiedfor a job that would pay enough to justifythe full efforts of an ambitious youngster.I took that advice and now am pro andsupt. of a club having 600 members. I amconfident that the condition of our courseand the efficiency of operation will com-pare very favorably with that of any simi-lar club in the country. I know, too, thatour pro shop operations and teachings havewon the strong endorsement of satisfiedmembers.

Combination Job i ExactingThere will continue to be controversy

about the pro-greenkeeping set-up. Whilegranting the merits of having one manexclusively for the greenkeeping job Iwould be willing to debate anybody on thecapacity of a properly trained pro-green-keeper to handle the combination job. How-

2

ever the combination job is not one thatcan be correctly handled unless the manhas had enough course maintenance train-ing to be able to know what the courseneeds and to train and supervise men fordoing the work. The pro who tries tohandle a combination job without knowingas much about greenkeeping as he does~bout te.achi~g, playing and pro shop work,IS exposmg himself to risk of losing his job.Members are quick to note and complainabout any defect in course condition thatcould be prevented or corrected promptlyby a competent man.

In each detail of the strictly pro opera-tions there is need of the same sort of studyand supervision a successful man wouldhave to give a manufacturing or retailingbusiness. The pro can't let his brain loaf aminute at or away from his club.

As an example of how all time can meanmoney to the pro who keeps thinking of hisbusiness for the club I can cite our propa-ganda campaign at the club.

Due to an operation I found myself in theposition of not being able to get around asmuch as usual so decided to make as muchof my incapacity as possible by startingand keeping going an intensive and vigo-rous mailing and publicity campaign.

Regularly my staff would meet for thepurpose of discussing and condensing theinteresting happenings around the club.This material would be put into readableform and sent to all members regularly.Naturally we'd get a plug in for the proshop and lessons. We've used this idea foryears but hadn't worked it as intensiv lyas this year. Got the idea out of GOLF-DOM many years ago.

Although this is a private club we havea working arrangement with the dir ctorof athletics of the public school systemwhereby we give free golf instruction toany high school student who expresses adesire to enter these classes. We also makeavailable to them the golf course faciliti s,free of charge, on certain days, to practicewhat they have learned. This arrangementserves a twofold purpose. It plays an im-portant part in the development of futuregolfers and gives us a potential caddy sup-

Getting Greens urf Tha\'ou Can Co Irol

By FRA KLIN HAMMOND

It is generally accepted that we mustbuild into the green all the qualities itshould have to maintain itself and to sup-plement this with as few as possible extramaintenance operations. If we place in thesoil materials which when acted upon bythe (as we hope) correct weather condi-tions to produce the results d sired whatwill be the effect if the opposite conditionsprevail? If this adverse weather lasts fora long period and is suddenly r placed withthe hoped for conditions what then?

For example - there has been built intothe green large amounts of compost andother materials so that we think the greenhas a foundation satisfactory to sustaingrowth for a long period. The weatherhappens to be cool and dry all spring.Naturally we have tried to induce growthwith supplemental methods with only par-tial success. These conditions could prevailup to warm weather. Suddenly the weatherchanges to a hot very wet condition lastingfor a long spell. We have an ov rsupplyofmoisture, high temperature and the hotpart of th growing season at hand. It re-quires little imagination to realize whatwill happen to the vegetative material inthe green plus the action of the supple-mental feedings we have applied earlier inthe season to induce growth, and whichhave not pad the correct weather condi-tions to use up the material. Fast softgrowth is started and there is no way tocheck it. The turf will be susceptible toevery grass pest in the neighborhood. Wehave brought on the very condition to beavoided. Most of the protectiv measureswe may try will have a tendency to in-crease this growing spurt while checkingthe pest.

eep Green in BalancIf we can build a green which is always

in balance between growing and standingstill we will always have control of itsgrowth which means its condition. Greenscan be constructed so that this control al-ways remains with the greenkeeper notwith what has been built into the green.This qualification can be built into thegreen without sacrificing any of the desir-able specifications.

We might compare this condition witha steamship at rest on the water. As longas it is without motion ahead or astern it is

out of control of the crew. Give it a littlemotion ahead under its own power. Aslong as it moves under the direction ofthose in charge it is under control. If for-ward motion is too rapid it can be checkedby reducing the power. Should the engineroom crew stoke the boilers to the limit andquit then the deck crew will lose controland have to wait for the driving force toburn itself out. If a large enough ob true-tion (pest) gets in the way at this highpeed, it's too bad for the ship.

The requirements of a golf green ar :-Pleasing appearance.A surface suitable to hold the shot to be

played to the green. (Fast or slow.)Smooth even texture both in turf and

soil.Playable at all times. (Wet or dry.)Freedom from pests.Healthy.The g neral belief is that a fast gre n is

dry and hard and a slow green is soft andwet. I cannot agree that this i so. Thetexture of the surface of the grass can beso modified that these qualities can begiven the green without affecting t e soil.

A hard dry soil surface with the standardtype green construction would mean thatthe whole green is dry to a considerabledepth. If this is so then the whole functionof the soil turf is upset. Compost will notbreak down to help feed the gra ,f rtil-izers will lose considerable of their value,soil water for the plant roots will be at aminimum. Packing of the soil will b in-creased and other troubles brought on.

Water will be the chief material usedin controlling a green in this condition.With much water-holding soil below thesurface of a contoured green the wat ringoperation will be complicated. No matt rhow well the soil may have been mixed andspread when the green was built there willbe some uneveness in the water holdingcapacity of that soil. High places will beparticularly hard to wet and hold moistureof the same quantity as the low parts. Forthis reason the surface will be unev n insoftness. The grass in the hollows will begrowing faster than on the high spots thuincreasing the softness in texture at thes
