What is the clubs Mission Statement? Familiarity breeds contempt, Sometimes you have to shake things up, so quit hearding cats! Silly as that may sound. If the problem is efficiency, it is a problem of boredom. They most likely have forgotten the message of "Gratitude". How many of your grounds crew, could handle your position for two or three days? Performing your daily tasks? Every employee is the member of a team, keep it simple. Change the schedule just to change things up. See how your grounds crew handles that. We never get to play the same shot twice on the course, why allow grounds crew to have set patterns for maintenance? Change everything except the sprinklers. Get them involved, force them to see what you see!

Para coordenar efetivamente com sua equipe de campo e garantir uma manutenção eficiente, comece estabelecendo canais de comunicação claros e diretos, como aplicativos de mensagens instantâneas ou plataformas de gerenciamento de tarefas que permitam atualizações em tempo real. Forneça treinamento regular e acessível sobre os procedimentos de manutenção e use tecnologia como GPS e aplicativos de rastreamento para monitorar a localização e o status das atividades. Além disso, incentive feedback contínuo da equipe de campo para identificar áreas de melhoria e ajustar processos conforme necessário. Realizar reuniões regulares, pode ajudar a alinhar expectativas e reforçar a importância da colaboração.

Effective coordination with a grounds crew really makes a difference in maintaining the space and avoiding hiccups. Clear roles and regular check-ins are key—everyone knowing exactly what’s expected and when to do it is a game-changer. Some places I’ve seen also use apps to track tasks in real time—things like progress updates, photos, or notes help everyone stay on the same page without unnecessary back-and-forth.
