| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses 2006 renovations at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. States that "superintendent Tom Lively...has overseen a drastic clearing out of hundreds of trees that shaded greens...Medinah also has rebuilt bunkers, seven greens and regrassed all putting surfaces with A-1/A-4 bentgrass." Also states that "[the] most significant and successful renovation has been to move the par-3 17th hole from up the hill back down to the water's edge." Lists ratings from "ease and intimacy of routing" to "landscape and tree management." Concludes that "the modestly sloped greens don't unduly punish approaches that are short-sided. With the par 5s vulnerable and little trouble elsewhere, expect lots of low rounds and a tight bunching of the field." |
