Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential for golfers to expect championship golfing conditions at their local golf course, suggesting that "it is important for golfers to realize that...the playing and, more important, the maintaining of championship conditions is much more difficult than it looks." Details factors of golf course maintenance that are modified when maintaining tournament conditions, focusing on irrigation and cultural practices. Lists handicap averages for men and women over time, and states that "golfer numbers and abilities would lead one to believe that championship conditions might not be well received at the majority of courses." |
