Main Speakers
Close Annual
Turf Meeting
A carefully planned buying and
organized evaluation of equipment
and its maintenance is a big step
toward improving efficiency of op
erations for golf courses, parks and
other public places, according to
Dr. Jim Watson Jr., chief agron
omist for the Toro Manufacturing
Corp. at Minneapolis, Minn.
Watson was one of the main
speakers at the fourteenth annual
Texas Turfgrass Conference held
hero Dec. 7-9.
Such equipment as mowers, fer
tilizer spreaders, seeders, aerators,
sprayers, dusters, mist blowers
and wood chippers should be pur
chased to suit the needs for one
type of operation.
Ife said adequate machinery for
one golf course, one cemetery, one
park, or one school system may be
inadequate for another and exces
sive for a third.
“Therefore, equipment must be
selected on the basis of the indi
vidual requirements for a particu
lar organization,” Dr. Watson said.
Discussing “Personnel Manage
ment and Relationships,” David
Lilly, president of Toro Manufac
turing Corp., and another main
speaker, said management is the
art of getting things done through
people.
Efficient management is rarely
achieved, he said, without consid
erable planning and a statement of
obje(#ives, policies and long range
plans. The statement should in
clude the questions of what, where,
where, how, how long and why
something is to be done and who
can do it best.
