| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Bigwin Island Golf Club in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, and superintendent Scott Heron. Explains that "golfers must arrive by ferry or private boat, but things get a little more complicated when supplies or equipment are required." States that "the cross-water transport of heavy equipment and supplies was especially tricky during Bigwin Island's construction period" and that "construction of the golf course took much longer than expected." Explains that "Heron said he'd like to redo his bunkers which are unlined and now have protruding rocks present." States that "the logistics associated with the island and its link with the mainland makes attracting largescale tournaments prohibitive." |
