The perspective contained in both addresses comprehensible and executable principals that encompass a diverse range of subjects including architecture, agronomy, intellectual property, rate structures, social media, water utilization and yield management. While the insights presented are clear, the analysis undertaken was extensive. The principles in these books formed an integral part of a Clemson University Ed. D.D. dissertation in which 11 leading golf course managers operating 34 golf courses vetted and validated the principals herein contained. Assurance of identifying the potential of a facility resides in the application of the books' concepts. These books help the golf course management team and staff develop a focused and disciplined approach based on quantitative data to identify and mitigate the impact of uncontrollable factors (economy, location and weather). From understanding these fundamentals, the controllable factors can be leveraged to enhance each golfer's qualitative experience while ensuring a positive financial return on investment to the golf course stake-holders.
