| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the appointment of Candice Combs as superintendent of Torrey Pines Golf Course. States that her appointment "is significant not only because she is a woman. It is meaningful beacuse she is a woman who was chosen to oversee a golf course that for nearly five years has struggled to regain control of its turf, a course that is the annual host of a PGA [Professional Golfers Association] Tour event, a course that will be the site of the 2008 U.S. [United States] Open." Notes that "according to the GCSAA [Golf Course Superintendents Association of America], only 25 out of 2,043 certified superintendents are women." Suggests women "probably would be [drawn to the golf industry] if owners, managers, superintendents and college turf programs did a better job of recruiting them." |
