| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential necessity of "a consistent approach" for preparing golf courses for tournaments, suggesting that "preparing for a major event requires early, sharp, and consistent focus on specific elements, including golf course conditions, gallery viewing and routing areas, corporate areas, and aesthetics." Advises that "overplanning and detailed attention to the 'what-ifs' is [are] the best way to ensure nothing will be left to chance." Recommends that "communication with key department heads and a tournament's governing body, as well as consideration of members' needs, are vital to successful planning efforts." Profiles several golf courses' maintenance and preparation strategies, implying that consistency might be the most significant factor contributing to potential success. |
