| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses renovations to the east course at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in preparation for three large tournaments that took place during 2011 and 2012. States that golf course architect Tom Doak made some minor changes to the course, including widening some of the fairways and bunker reconstruction. Explains that the organic layer on the greens was removed by cutting and rolling the turf, cutting the layer of organic matter down to near 6 cm, and re-laying the turf afterwards. Notes that approaches and surrounds were re-turfed as well. States that fairways were given a mixed couch surface by seeding and using pesticides to remove invasive wintergreen grass. Notes that drainage was added to bunkers and some tees were reshaped. |
