Hi Bob,

55% for payroll alone and 66% including staff insurance and taxes has been my experience.

Best,

What would a typical Maintenance budget be for a Mid South course with no overseeding and bermuda fairways.  Typically we start mowing around end of April and stop early October.  Just to note it's a private club with 400 dollar a month dues.

Too often generalizations are made with no regard for the fact that acreage of fine turf and properties varies and has a tremendous impact on budget numbers.  Typically, superintendents will divide the budget by fine turf or maintained acres for an improved comparison.

If a club decides to transition their course from one that had been generally over irrigated and artificially soft to a dedicated firm and fast program do you think it would generally be less expensive or more expensive to maintain it or negligible?

Is this a trick question?

Added expense in the first couple of years with the payback in the out years.

This presupposes no added "cost" for transitioning the membership along with the golf course.

"Is this a trick question?"

Could be. Even if it technically isn't a "trick question" nevertheless it may be a tricky question.

Do you remember the scene in "Ghostbusters" when Sigourney Weaver is lying on the bed peeling her clothes off and she asks Bill Murray if he wants to have sex and he says: "Is that a trick question?"
