Golf Staffing and welfare


- This should establish current staffing levels and working conditions


- It will need to have a common thread to the overall staffing policy. Holiday entitlement, sickness policy and structure, roles and responsibilities will be identified within this part of the document


- It is commonplace these days that all staffing issues within the business portfolio fall under the club’s general staffing heading for management purposes; however, they will still have to be managed day to day by the heads of their own department


Standard Operational Procedure


- Every task, from opening the workshop to locking it up at night should to be written down - include every operation carried out on the golf course


- Therefore, in the event of absence or sickness, everyone else has this knowledge and information available to them at all times


- Another useful side to this part of the document is that it can be used as a training aid to induct and train all staff employed within the business


- If well catalogued, it will help in setting and maintaining standards, so I would urge you to keep these information templates as simple and clear as possible


Health & Safety


- Within the greenkeeping department we have some very unique issues but, hey, that’s also true of every department within the overall business


- You will be tasked with identifying those issues that are relevant to your department and manage them


- A weakness that I have seen over the years is departmental differences in recording such detailed information, different systems for logging and recording can be difficult to manage. So, this would be a fantastic opportunity to merge those systems of record keeping into one concise working system in everyone’s best interest


- The same can be said of many recording systems, so take the opportunity to not re-invent the wheel here and adopt a common system across all departmental areas. Doing it once, and properly, makes economic sense but also delivers a practicality in its management thereafter


- Merge a common thread into your management policy. Take the opportunity to share, adopt and use the best overall system currently available at your club


Budgets


- Budgets not only need to be formed but managed also. They will include


day to day spending for all materials required within your department. They will include your departmental wages and those capital investments that have been identified to support continued on course development


- It will take agreement from your club’s finance department to determine the final figures. Be prepared for some negotiation


- The biggest changes we have to accept as greenkeepers is not only are we managing this fund, but realising that we have a role to play in fund generation as well


- Tight financial controls are paramount to the success of any business, not only will you be expected to manage these funds but also control them because, unlike income and revenue, costs can always be controlled in times of difficulty; a simple fact that is sometimes forgotten


Inventory


- A record of all the club’s machinery and equipment is required to be in place at all times


- It will include all the working equipment within your department


- It has to be a working part of any document as it will be used to establish things like insurance premiums and depreciation figures that change year on year
