...Many may see the golf course in different ways. Some may see it as a waste of space or as a waste of money and only good for rich men. I see the golf course differently than these people as this is my happy place. From the thick and luscious grass in the rough to the delicate greens this is the place I love. For the golf lovers in the area these simple but yet amazingly complicated holes can make the rough days much better. The love of this great game goes further than just golf. As I slowly creep along the entrance on the 15 mph road I approach the very large speed bumps. These stand out bumps have large scratch marks from the bottom of several different cars. These three speed bumps are the only thing slowing me down on my way to the crammed...

...Golf Course Irrigation: Flowing with Technology I had a hard time trying to think of a system and write about it, and then I decided to go with what I know; the golf course. For this paper I will discuss golf course irrigation automation and how it has progressed over time due to aesthetic demands and course playability. Years ago and at some smaller courses spread throughout the States still in operation, golf course irrigation systems used to require manual assistance. A hired employee worked the overnight hours watering the golf course using couplers attached to sprinkler heads. The irrigation employee would insert the required amount of heads to allow for proper water distribution, too many heads and water pressure suffers causing inadequate watering, too few heads and the underground pipe runs the risk of high pressure blow outs. Something better had to come about, using hydraulic pressure to regulate a valve at each sprinkler head and attaching that to a control box in the field, the turf managers can now set up a watering cycle during the day to automatically run at night. But these were mainly just timers and pins, very limited. Today we are using computer programs that can calculate everything needed to water a golf course both efficiently and effectively. By giving the irrigation software the data to establish water capabilities and demands, the software can distribute water throughout the golf course. With the popularity of The Masters Golf tournament...

...It all started when I went to school that day. Every class just seemed to be flying by, and not a single teacher gave me homework. This is always the best way to end the school day. It is so easy for me to be captivated by golf, especially when it is a blue and sunny skies. It just makes me want to get out there and play as soon as I can. It seemed like it was the perfect day to play golf, and nothing could have been better. When I arrived to the golf course, there were a few clouds in the sky that looked like a horse's tail blowing in the wind. After I admired the beautiful sky, I began putting immediately. Every putt was on line with the hole and was the right speed. It seemed like I couldn’t miss. I had that gut feeling that it was going to be a great round,and also...

...A newly built controversial Scottish golf course has been under heated discussion recently. According to Anthony Baxter’s documentary “You’ve Been Trumped”(2011), Donald Trump, an American business magnate, opened his £1 billion golf course on the North Sea coast of Scotland. Mr. Trump has been facing boycott from conservationists as well as local people who were forced to sell their property as he embarks on this new project. At one point the use of CPO(compulsory purchase orders) to force residents to sell houses was nearly carried out by the Scottish government. Although the approval of CPO could accelerate the pace of the golf links construction and the course may provide job opportunity for local people, there is no doubt that every citizen has the right to keep one's own property and that no project should be built at the expense of the environment. As can be seen from the documentary, once construction begins on the 1,400-acre estate, the lives of the farmers and fishermen nearby have been disrupted. Residents lost electricity and water and were almost forced to move from their house, where Mr. Trump described as "slum" and "pigsty", which was very rude. Even though the CPO wasn't approved and many local people stayed where they were eventually, residents now are fenced with barrier and trees around their houses. One of the residents on the Menie Estate, David Milne, sees it as " just another attempt to intimidate and bully me". (Daily Mail, 2011) Apparently it is Mr...

...Case Assignment 1 NCRCC Teeing Up a New Strategic Liberty University BUSI600 Dr.Johnson Background Information The NCR Country Club (NCRCC) is an entity within the National Cash Register Co. that was established in 1954 as part of the employee benefits. This country club was initially only for members of the National Cash Register Co. but eventually membership was extended to the public. After AT&T made investments in the country club in order to renovate the facilities, the primary goal was to increase membership. As a means to increase membership at the NCR Country Club, the expertise of the McMahon Group was requested in order to assist with the strategic planning process. According to the Balanced Scorecard Institute (2015) strategic planning “is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, strengthen operations, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment.” ( Balanced Scorecard Institute, 2015) In this case study we learn that the underlying issue within the company is that it has been having trouble attracting new members to the country club. In this assignment I will develop the management-research question hierarchy which is “a process of sequential question formulation that leads a manager or researcher from management dilemma to measurement questions” (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). After building the management-research question hierarchy...

...Chestnut Ridge Country Club Filename: chestnut1=2011.sav The Chestnut Ridge Country Club has long maintained a distinguished reputation as one of the outstanding country clubs in Elma, Tennessee, area. The club’s golf facilities are said by some to be the finest in the state, and its dining and banquet facilities are highly regarded as well . This reputation is due in part to the commitment by the Board of Directors of Chestnut Ridge to offer the finest facilities of any club in the area. For example , several negative comments by club members regarding the dining facilities prompted the board to survey members to get their feelings and perceptions of the dining facilities and food offerings at the club .Based on the survey findings, the board of directors established a quality control committee to oversee the dining room and a new club manager was hired. Most recently ,the board became concerned about the number of people seeking membership to Chestnut Ridge. Although no records are kept on the number of membership applications received each year, the board sensed that this figure was declining. They also believed that membership applications at the three competing country clubs in the area – Alden, Chalet and Lancaster … were not experiencing similar declines. Because Chestnut Ridge had other facilities , such as tennis club and a pool ,that were comparable to the facilities at these other clubs , the board was perplexed as to why membership applications would...

...Business Law I 3/31/2011 Reiser v. Dayton Country Club Company I. Facts The Dayton Country Club offers many social activities to its members. However, the privilege to play golf at the club is reserved to a special membership category for which additional fees are charged. The club chooses golfing members from a waiting list of members according to detailed rules, regulations, and procedures. Magness and Redman were golfing members of the Dayton Country Club. Upon their filing for bankruptcy, their trustee sought to assign by sale their rights under these memberships to (1) other members on the waiting list, (2) other members not on the waiting list, or (3) the general public, provided the purchaser first acquired membership in the Club. The bankruptcy court found that the Club’s rules governing golf membership were essentially anti-assignment provisions and therefore the estate could not assign rights contained in the membership agreement. On appeal to the district court, the bankruptcy court’s ruling was affirmed. The district court added that this case was not a lease but rather a “non-commercial dispute over the possession of a valuable membership in a recreational and social club.” II. Issue When the rights under a contract are personal, they may not be assigned. . III. Decision Facts: Decision: Judgment affirmed. . IV. Reasons The Court of Appeals found that the memberships of Magness and Redman were personal contracts...

...late 1990s, those employees were aging rapidly and the core membership needed to be increased. NCRCC offers two golf courses. One is an award winning, championshiphosting course on the PGA tour. But it wasn’t attracting new members, especially younger families. This case is about a membership study done as part of a larger management initiative to evaluate several strategic directions the club might take to expand its membership. www.ncrcountryclub.com >The Scenario Used with permission of Pamela S. Schindler ©2001. NCR Country Club (NCRCC) started in 1954 as an employee benefit of the National Cash Register Co. but is now an open-membership club. This country club located in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton), hosts two 18-hole golf courses. The NCR South course, a par 71 championship course of 6,824 yards of heavily wooded rolling countryside, the site of the 1996 PGA Championship, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the 1998 U.S. Mid-Amateur, is consistently ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top 100 courses in the United States. The prairie-links style of the North course, a 6,358-yard par 70 course, is considered challenging. In southwestern Ohio, the active golf season usually lasts from May through October. Within a 30-minute radius of NCRCC, the avid golfer will find eight other private golf and country clubs as well as 29 public golf clubs and courses. In 1997, after the purchase of NCR Corporation by AT&T, AT&T provided a $4.0 million interest-free loan to raze...

...“Fore” Life My score was growing and growing with each swing I took. I knew I was not going to set a personal record, but I just wanted to do better than I had the day before. As I took a practice swing and got set for the shot, I could feel the pressure building inside me. My LPHS Bridgestone golf ball sat just behind the lip of the sand trap, one of the hardest shots in the game of golf. My competitor’s ball had been in a similar position, and it took her five strokes to make it out. I could not afford that. I coiled up and went for the shot. As I struck the ball, it soared over the lip and onto the green. It rolled until it was about one foot away from the hole. I was thrilled. Although I had not been playing well, that one shot completely...

...Marshall Givley Compensation & Benefits 1/24/16 Assignment 1 Assignment 1 1. I am using Lost Spur Golf Course as my example for mapping compensation strategies. One key point of my company’s strategy is external competiveness. Lost Spur will offer unique deals compared to the other golf courses in the area. Some forms of compensation I received while working is unlimited golf, free golf, and 40% discounts towards the pro shop apparel and food. Another compensation strategy Lost Spur used was internal alignment. Aside from the managers and employees who have been working there for an extended period of time, most employees were paid the same. However, the company did support career growth. If you excelled at your job, there were opportunities for promotions and increased pay. In a sense, they used “working hard” as an incentive for career growth. 2. As I stated in question one, most employees at the golf course were paid the same. This is similar to SAS’s philosophy where “Everyone is part of the SAS family.” So, one key difference between Lost Spur and Microsoft is the internal alignment. The differences in Microsoft’s pay are seen as returns for superior performance whereas Lost Spur does not have a lot of pay differences between its employees. Another key difference between SAS, Microsoft, and Lost Spur is career growth. Lost Spur offers a high amount of career growth although Microsoft and SAS are relatively neutral according to the strategy map. 3...
