I believe the critical point is not his hiring but how good he is at employing real good green supertendent's. I remember a VP of a very large Corporation who played golf a lot and was unhappy with the condition of the Corporate Golf Course. He told the Golf Manager of the Course: "We are either not giving you enough money to maintain high standards or you are not able to handle the job, which is it" Another point is that the Manager was not hired to do the job but to Manage the job and delegate the work. The cleanest desk in any office should be the manager. If he is hiring and delegating properly he should not be "doing the work" but managing it. Let's hope he knows the greens Business as I believe the Village's is not under funding the maintenance.
