Which component is described by the agenda item: 'Purchase 250 dozen new range balls and rotate usage three times a year. Who: Head Professional. When: By February 15. Cost: $2100'?

• A. Forecast
• B. Tactic
• C. Objective
• D. Strategy

Answer: (D)

The item describes an overall plan for how to behave to reach a goal by coordinating resources, timing, and accountability. It specifies what to do (buy 250 dozen range balls and rotate their use three times a year), who will oversee it (Head Professional), when it should be completed (by February 15), and how much it will cost ($2100). That combination of a planned approach to allocate resources and schedule actions to meet a longer-term aim is what we call a strategy. A forecast would be about predicting future needs or demands. An objective would be a specific goal to achieve, such as “refresh equipment by date” or “maintain a certain inventory level.” A tactic would be a single concrete action taken as part of executing a strategy. Here, the item outlines the broader plan and its resource and timing commitments, which define the strategy guiding the facility’s approach.
