EVENTS
While everyday course prep on your home facility can be demanding, the effort required to prepare for special events adds even more importance to how the course is maintained. For member events, this can mean planning ahead weeks and months to ensure proper results and conditions. Yet for bigger events like the PGA Tour, it takes years of planning and an army of volunteers to create what is seen on television. Even though such large events are out of the ordinary for normal clubs, you can still learn a plethora of information that can be scaled to your specific operation and how to improve preparations and playability for any event.
Over the past several years I have had the opportunity to assist with preparing and hosting multiple professional events, many of which are shown below.
