| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, highlighting preparations for the 2006 Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Championship. Explains that in 1990, the course was in prime condition, hard and fast, but P.J. Boatwright, the director of rules and competition for the [United States (U.S.)] Golf Association, decided to change the setup after players complained about the course's difficulty." States that "all the preventive measures combined to produce the soft conditions that made Medinah's greens more like dart boards and produced a tie for the lowest winning score in relation to par in PGA history." |
