| Abstract/Contents: | Valentine discusses special preparations or the lack of preparations for a tournament. "Merion is a championship course. No change in fundamentals has ever taken place for any tournament. Only small changes have taken place from year to year. In other words, we do not get a new shirt to look pretty on Sunday morning; we only need a clean one. We feel that we have the right answer in conditioning the course for a USGA Championship. In fact, the members feel that the course is always in championship condition at any time. We cannot see why it should be different during championship play from when the members and guests play it. For a USGA tournament the only thing we do is mark the boundaries more clearly." |
