- 2 - Personnel Cost Analysis The information in this analysis shows a comparison cost for 2002. The effect of the Bridges concerning the weather shows that in the two prior seasons the Bridges Golf Course had significant strength in market share compared to others. While the cost of labor per golfer is on the upper portion of this review of 2002, it appears to be an anomaly in comparison to the golf rounds of the 2000 and 2001 seasons. This significant decrease in rounds is likely caused by the patrons not crossing the picket lines during the strike. The cost of personnel also includes some unemployment benefits that may not be the norm. The 2003 budgeted operating expense for personnel services are $296,142. The cost per round will be $6.73 projecting 44,000 rounds for the season.
