You share the profit... we take the risk — RENT-A-FLEET
I t really isn't much of a risk. We know
from experience that a fleet of Walker
Executives will speed play and multiply
the rounds played on your golf course.
But how do you know?
Here's a good way to find out about this
money-player at very little cost and
with no risk at all.
ADVANTAGES OF RENT-A-FLEET
The cash outlay is small. The rent is
low. You can keep your funds available
for other club improvements, so the slow
months won't drain your bank account.
There is no risk and less trouble.
We take care of any major servicing.
Naturally, under this arrangement, we
share the profit with you. If you don't
like this idea, we'd be delighted to sell
you a fleet.
Make sense?
THE 1965 WALKER EXECUTIVE
Gasoline or Electric Add all-steel, uni-body
construction and sports car styling comfort to all the other things you
expect from a golf cart... and you
have the Walker Executive.. .a
real money-player.
Please send me complete details of the W A L K E R E X E C U T I V E RENT-A FLEET P L A N and your full-color booklet on the '65 model Executive Golf Cars—gasoline and electric.

Personnel Training Needed (Continued from page 70)
The oversight is not necessarily inten-tional. Or,, at least, that is the way Lee Dieter feels. "The primary job of a man who is running a golf course," he says, "is to keep the course in the best possi-ble playing condition. Everything else is secondary. That includes the training of apprentice supts. I have seen, or I know of good supervisory training programs that have been started, but too often they have been junked and not picked up again because the supt. has been put under so much pressure in keeping the course in shape that he has had to give up on them. This is where the system breaks down."
Which leads to the question: Is there any solution to the problem of training an apprentice to handle the most cru-cial job he is going to have to contend with when he becomes a head supt.?
Lee Dieter suggests this answer: When an apprentice proves he is ready for su-pervisory responsibility, why not assign three or four or five men to him and make him completely accountable for the work they perform? If the apprentice shows that he is incapable of handling men, maybe that is the time for him to get out of the turf management business altogether.
