Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, highlighting their efforts in preparing the grounds for a tournament in 2008 after large amounts of rain. Explains that "[superintendent Scott Bowman] doubled his workforce to 80, and added pumps, squeegees, mowers, sand rakes, people movers, utility vehicles, and every other item available to make the course playable as quickly as possible." Mentions that "in order to get equipment onto the course without disturbing play, police shut down one lane on two of Oakville's major streets so a convoy could be driven from the maintenance area to the first tee." Concludes that "[Scott Bowman] and [his] staff were very dedicated in preparing the golf course each and every day of the tournament." |
