| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the preparations of Hillcrest Country Club in Boise, ID for the Buy.com Tour. Explains that superintendent Kevin Hicks starts "preparing between two and three weeks before the tournament by letting the rough areas grow to meet the four-inch tournament standard." Describes the crew's preparation of greens with growth regulators, usually compounds containing paclobutrazole. Also details the challenges of the dry western climate, including repairing traffic damage following the tournament but "before winter weather sets in and shuts down grass growth." |
