| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles The Royale Melbourne Golf Club, stating that it "was established in 1891 and is regarded as one of Australia's leading course [courses]. It is consistently ranked in the world's top 10 and has been the venue for in excess of 33 major tournaments since WWII [World War Two]." Lists three different locations of the course, including Caulfield, Australia from 1891 to 1901; Sandringham, Australia from 1901 to 1931; and Black Rock, Australia from 1931. Details tournament preparations for international events held at the club, stating that "the course is used regularly for tournaments therefore experience from previous events assists in the planning, with changes to set-up being accommodated relatively easily and with little disruption." Presents a suggested tournament preparation maintenance schedule and mentions possible problems involved with tournament preparation, including vandalism, drought, heavy rain, extreme heat, and post-tournament damage. |
