| Abstract/Contents: | Announces that "the United States Golf Association's [USGA] oldest national championship, The Amateur, is coming to the Badger State [Wisconsin] for the first time August 22-28, 2011." Briefly profiles the championship's history, noting that "the first Amateur was played in 1895, a year after the USGA was formed and was won by Charles Blair McDonald." Discusses drainage improvements, tree removal, and fairway reshaping undergone by Erin Hills and Blue Mound Golf and Country Club, the Wisconsin course that will host the 2011 championship. Provides a list of "U.S. Amateur Records," and concludes that "Wisconsin may have lost the Greater Milwaukee Open but the Badger State is quickly becoming a golf destination for major golf championships." |
