This case is set at a golf course in Aurora, Ontario. The club superintendent and the assistant superintendent will be interviewing three candidates for a green keeping position at Maple Retreat Golf and Country Club. The club superintendent must decide what questions to ask of the three applicants, keeping in mind what questions he could not ask of the candidates. This case is intended to be used for the managing people module of an organizational behavior or human resource management core course, or for a managing people elective. The case provides students with the opportunity to develop interview questions for the candidates and to interview the candidates in role play situations.
