Which department do tournament directors rely on to meet members' and guests' physical and social needs?

• A. Administration
• B. Food and Beverage
• C. Grounds
• D. Pro shop

Answer: (B)

Meeting members’ and guests’ physical and social needs during a tournament is about providing nourishment, hospitality, and social opportunities. The Food and Beverage department handles all food service, beverages, and related hospitality events—menus, dietary accommodations, on-course refreshment service, bars, and hosted receptions or banquets. This is why tournament directors rely on them: they ensure meals, snacks, and drinks are timely and of good quality, while also creating social spaces where players and guests can mingle and celebrate. Other departments support the facility in different ways—grounds cares for the course, pro shop handles retail and tournament logistics, and administration handles paperwork—but they don’t coordinate the food, drink, and hospitality experiences that meet those needs directly.
