Abstract/Contents: | Describes the process of setting up Winged Foot for the U. S. Open. Explains that the goal of the USGA is to make the open championship "a consistent statement about what the game of golf is all about". Details how certain holes were altered by adding trees, adding bunkers, and increasing rough thickness. Stresses that major reconstruction was required on the 10th hole because of putting area sinkage of five feet in some areas. Concludes with praises that the club has received about these improvements. |
