| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses tournament preparations at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Atlanta, Georgia for the 2011 PGA (Professional Golf Association) championship, stating that "what will be remembered a decade from now, even 50 years from now, is that this was the event and the course that disproved the conventional wisdom that major-championship golf in the Deep South is risky." Notes the relatively few major golf championships that have been played in southern states compared with other regions, suggesting that "stiflingly" hot summers in the southern United States (U.S.) may be a reason fewer tournaments are hosted there. Details the preparation and reconstruction of the Highlands Course at the Atlanta Athletic Club for the tournament, including the use of robotic mowers and a putting green conversion to ultradwarf bermudagrass. Announces locations of PGA championships and U.S. Open tournaments between 2012 and 2018. |
