Abstract/Contents:Suggests that golf courses need to figure out how to achieve optimal tournament conditions with "fewer people, less water, reduced fertiliser input, and a lot less chemical usage." Also discusses the controversy over golf equipment specifications. Suggests that advances in club and ball technology are taking some of the challenge out of golf. States that "something needs to be done or we will begin to disappoint our fans and our tour players with non-challengng golf courses and, perhaps, somewhat boring tournaments."
