| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses renovations at Smyrna Beach Municipal Golf Course, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and states that "considering New Smyrna's status as a municipal facility, locals thought a costly renovation would be out of the question." States that "resident golfers championed the cause, city officials bought into the plan and hired [a] golf course architect." Describes the renovations that took place, including "[adding] undulation to the fairways, aiding drainage and infusing 'movement' into the course." Expresses concerns many members of the course had that "such a project would spike their membership costs." Describes how Weed Golf Course Design "needed to spend judiciously, but modernize the course...yet they also wanted to preserve Ross' original design and keep the public course user-friendly." |
