Abstract/Contents:Profiles Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, and its grounds superintendent, Tony Mancuso. Highlights the 25th U.S. (United States) Senior Open Golf Tournament at Bellerive Country Club, stating that "the areas of the golf course are absolutely wonderful. The fairways that Tony has groomed have...given a good lie for the players." Mentions course renovations, stating that "the group put down a little over eight acres of sod - 40,000 square yards in 21 working days." Also mentions "a six-hour downpour that brought over 3 inches of rain, which forced the USGA [United States Golf Association] to push the second round into Saturday." Briefly outlines the history of Bellerive Golf Course, stating that "the country club has a long and honorable history. Founded in 1897 as the Field Club of St. Louis, it soon had a 9-hole course just 10 years after the first golf course was built in the United States."
