| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the 2011 Open Championship at Royal St. George's Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent, England. Explains that "in previous Opens played at Royal St. George's, one of the concerns of the players was the difficulty of holding what were perceived to be good straight tee shots on the fairways at certain holes," and details the renovations made to fix these criticisms. Discusses the maintenance of the rough and bunkers, as well as tee renovations. Mentions that "work began in 2010 recording data on green speed, firmness, moisture content, and smoothness and trueness, and this will continue on at least a monthly basis in the build up to The Open." |
