Abstract	ITIS A CRISP, clear Saturday morning in October. The sun is just beginning to rise as you step into a hot shower and prepare for the 8:00 A.M. shotgun start of the Fall Classic breakfast tournament. A quick bite, a cup of coffee, a peak at the sports page, and you're off, full of anticipation for a great morning on a pristine golf course with friends. Ah, but there is trouble in the air when you arrive at the golf course. A sign reading "FROST DELAY" is posted on the message board. Tension fills the air as more and more golfers gather only to realize that the tournament is delayed indefinitely until the frost lifts. You hear the complaints: "There he goes again .... Is this place ever open? ... How much damage can a few golfers create? ... Last weekend it was too wet for golf carts, today a frost delay .... What's next? Close the greens for winter?" Is this scene familiar? Maybe the scenario is different, but time and time again golfers question the judgement of the golf course superintendent, especially when a decision or activity directly affects their ability to play the golf course. Is the superintendent dutifully protecting the golf course, or is he overreacting to a condition that's really not so important? As a golfer, do you realize the implications of your attitudes, demands, and actions on golf course conditioning and operations, and that you, too, are responsible for the appearance and playability of the golf course? Let's take a closer look.
