| Abstract/Contents: | Details the golf course preparations at English Turn in New Orleans, Louisiana after suffering damage from Hurricane Katrina for the Zurich Classic. States that "complications started showing up almost immediately. The irrigation water supply had been contaminated by the storm surge and, in an ironic twist of fate, the season-long drought continued with only a brief interruption from the hurricane." Mentions that staff was brought in from Tournament Players Club (TPC) of Louisiana since it was shut down due to storm damage. Concludes that "with long nights and a good supply of water pumps, the course was ready each day and met its scheduled finish...The record will show Chris Couch won...But the rea winner is the City of New Orleans, its needy charities and members of the hardworking crew that produced this tournament. It was nothing short of spectacular." |
