The Weeks Before the Tournament

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." - Colin Powell


Every club has a few of those tournaments at their course that they want everything to look nice and be in tip top condition. Everybody on the maintenance staff feels this pressure and wants the same thing. What about the crew? Where does morale stand? Like any team you're only as strong as your weakest person. As an assistant if you haven't injected yourself into the crew the weeks before a tournament now is probably a great time to do so.

The crew employee is on the front line of making your goals and ideas become reality. Invest in those crew members just like you would a bank account and watch them grow. As you invest you gain interest and value in and from those individuals. As you work with different crew members their interest will grow, and so will their value for their own work. Pretty soon you have made your way around working with everybody on staff, and morale is boosted and self-value is insured in those employees. Your end product is a self-valued, motivated, synergetic team.
