Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, site of the 2006 Professional Golfers Association (PGA) tour. States that "the oak-lined venue has been faulted for...badly designed holes, excessive length and playing too easy...Each critique spurred a revamping of the 1928 Tom Bendelow design." Discusses maintenance challenges at Medinah, including shade, water quality, and drainage. States that "despite the tree-removal program, the world's best players still will have to hit the ball straight to have success. Fairways will be 25 yards wide, and the rough is being maintained at 4½ inches." |
