5.0 out of 5 stars
This is simply a good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Turf Management for Golf Courses, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I use this book at school for a class called "golf course organization and maintenace." It is geared directly to golf courses. The fact of the matter is that it covers every imaginable aspect of golf course maintenance and operations, and I do mean everything. In my opinion there is no other book more valuable for persons training to be golf course superintendents. If your already a superintendent I'm sure it would still be a wise decision to purchase this book.

This review is from: Turf Management for Golf Courses (Hardcover)
I ordered this book, paid my hard earned money and I did not receive it. Wish I had a way to contact the seller. I guess that's what I get for buying used. Horrible experience. How do I get this resolved?!
