Economy in purchasing equipment. Maintenance problems should be 

 considered in buying equipment. A few extra dollars spent in the beginning 

 in purchasing the most lasting equipment will save many dollars in repairs. 

 It is good economy to allow men to stop work fifteen minutes earlier in 

 the evening in order to give them time to clean their tools and put them 

 in their proper places. Tools and machinery should be kept sharpened, 

 oiled and in good repair for the sake of efficiency in work and saving in 

 time and expense. 



Clubhouse management. It is very important that high standards shall 

 be maintained in the management of the clubhouse as well as the course 

 itself. Every building of this nature should have a worker in charge from 

 five o'clock in the morning until dark. There should always be on hand 

 plenty of hot water and sufficient supplies for toilets and lavatories. All 

 facilities should be kept clean. The public will be glad to pay for this 

 service if for some good reason it is necessary to make a charge. 



In Los Angeles, California, the clubhouse is in charge of a manager, 

 who has supervision over the following employees : One cashier, two starters, 

 one janitor and one officer on the links. The manager handles all the 

 money collected from every service. Permits and tickets bear consecutive 

 numbers and every one must bis accounted for. Dining room sales are 

 checked daily from a cash register. Players wear a button corresponding 

 to the number of their permit. For example, in the case of monthly permits 

 which are printed in red, red buttons are issued. 



Rules and Regulations. The congested conditions which exist on most 

 municipal courses make imperative strict adherence to golf etiquette and to 

 playing rules and regulations. It is well to have these rules printed on the 

 back of score cards as well as to have them posted in clubhouses and shelter 

 buildings. The following regulations are enforced on the municipal golf 

 course of Stevens Park, Dallas, Texas :
