I was going to post this to the board as well.  Awesome stuff.

I think Randy touches on a larger point as it relates to the bifurcation issue. And I'm not talking about ball bifurcation. I'm referring to the bifurcation of power in the greater golf world. It seems to me that the green keeping side of the golf business is at an all time high in how willing the general golfing world is to defer to their knowledge and control. Does anyone else here feel like we are on the cusp of a change in golf? That maybe the most important person at your course or club is no longer the pro or the general manager, but the superintendent? I know many of us have always felt that way, but what if the average golfer (as Randy so diligently found) starts to take that view as well?

Ben, I'm not sure who is the most important person at a club, however, I do like seeing the pro, GM and super playing golf together.

Great vid.

Brilliant, particularly in that the debate is being framed as smart vs stupid. That may sound a little unpleasant but fear of being perceived as backwards is a bigger catalyst for change than any environmental arguments. Peer pressure always counts for a lot.

I'll just assume you meant to add a dues paying member as the fourth-- as long as we're talking most important.
