| Abstract/Contents: | Announces Sam MacKenzie as the director of grounds maintenance at Olympia Fields Country Club near Chicago, Illinois.

Briefly profiles Olympia Fields, stating that "the Willie Park-designed North Course...was the site of the U.S. [United States] Open in 1928 and 2003, PGA [Professional Golfers Association] Championship (1925, '61), U.S. Senior Oepn (1977) and five Western Opens."
