Interesting, at a former position I had the golf maintenance staff would be paired down to my self; as superintendent and the mechanic/assistant (one person). At the pro shop they would keep the General manager, Head Pro, Office manager, and restaurant manager, and evn this year have hired a merchandising pro? What ever that is, and still only have the Superintendent and mechanic in the maintenance facility. This was one of the reasons I left the position when an opportunity presented itself. To make this scenario even better while during my 10 years at that facility Troon Golf was under contract for a five year span. reducing staff wasn't only part of their operational standard I know that they were the ones who introduced our owners to the idea. Troon's first winter in the contract I was ask to take a leave of absence w/o pay from Dec. through Feb. Left in place in maintenance was an assistant and a mechanic, separate positions at the time. While all the afore mentioned club house staff remained. Long story short the mechanic was caught stealing, the assistant resigned to move to another facility, and I was ask to to return to work.
