| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Brad Porter, who in 1996 at the age of 23 had the task of preparing the Lockleys Bowling Club in Adelaide, Australia for the World Championships. Discusses criticism of his work at that time, his career path following the World Championships, and his return to the Lockleys after an announcement that the 2012 World Championships would be coming back to the Adelaide. Details the four Tifdwarf greens at Lockleys that needed work upon Porter's return and his management program during the time before the Championships. Includes information on the Holdfast Bay Bowls, the other course the 2012 World Championships would be taking place at in Adelaide. Highlights the Holdfast Bay superintendent Kevin Lewis and his tactics for managing the three "some 90 years old" greens. Concludes with the scheduling and setup for the World Championships and the overall experience of Porter doing it over again. |
