| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that major championships are played almost exclusively in the North and Midwest regions of the United States, as these tournaments are played in the summer when maintenance of southern courses is most difficult. Explains that "the creeping bentgrass that many in golf believe makes for the smoothest, quickest putting greens struggle in the summer heat, demanding extreme measures such as hand watering several times a day." Details Atlanta Athletic Club's transition to warm season turfgrasses prior to its hosting of the 2011 PGA Tour. Notes that "protecting his new warm season greens from the cold is easier than trying to keep bentgrass in good condition through the summer." States that "we're saving $50,000-$60,000 a year with the ultradwarf because we don't use as many fungicides." Concludes that "this was the event and the course that disproved the conventional wisdom that major championship golf in the Deep South is risky." |
