| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles East Lake Golf Club, highlighting renovations to the course "a year after searing summer heat nearly killed the bentgrass greens...leaving them soft and vulnerable during the Tour Championship [in 2008]." Describes the renovation process, stating that the course "closed March 3 [2008] for the renovation [which included] regrassing the Crenshaw bentgrass greens with the MiniVerde variety of ultradwarf Bermudagrass and several design tweaks by Greg Muirhead of Rees Jones Golf Course Design." Suggests that "perhaps the greatest deviation from [2007] is at No. [number] 17, where the fairway and green have been moved some 40 yards to the left, brining the lake into play throughout the entire length of the hole." |
