The Administration of Golf Courses. 



Park authorities probably more than any other group are concerned 

 with the administration of municipal golf courses. A few general suggestions 

 on the administration may therefore be helpful. 



The staff. The success of a golf course and clubhouse will depend 

 largely on the quality of their management. It is therefore highly impor- 

 tant that the golf course shall be in charge of a competent man who under- 

 stands the game. Such a manager should be entirely responsible for the 

 course and its proper upkeep, and capable of handling all branches of the 

 game and of supervising the workers on his staff. These workers should 

 as far as possible be trained men, kept regularly employed so as to ensure 

 having a good summer force. The great majority of the professionals em- 

 ployed, who serve as managers of the courses and who in many instances 

 receive concessions as part of their salaries, are allowed to give lessons. 

 Where a salary is the entire amount received by a manager, the average 

 salary is approximately $150 a month, though in some cities $2,000 a year 

 is paid, and in a few instances a still higher salary is given. Where con- 

 cessions are permitted there is considerable variation. In one city the 

 professional receives $100 a month and concessions on a twelve and one-half 

 per cent basis. In another the salary is $125 a month, the professional 

 receiving the golf concessions and from this amount paying the clerk. In 

 a third city the salary is $75 a month plus one-half the receipts from lessons; 

 in a fourth $5.00 a day, with the privilege of giving lessons. Many park 

 and recreation officials feel that the professional should be paid a salary 

 sufficient to permit him to give all of his time to the administration of the 

 golf courses without being under the necessity of supplementing his salary 

 by taking charge of the sale of food and other articles. 



Other workers employed in connection with golf courses include greens
