Maybe just not the most fun for the rest of us who didn't quite qualify for the Open. Enjoyed the read, and enjoy playing the courses you've worked on!Golfing Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029803319435017326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444496398580358211.post-85293825418705082262012-06-18T11:38:00.371-04:002012-06-18T11:38:00.371-04:00The watering before the 3rd round was a shame for ...The watering before the 3rd round was a shame for me. My personal feelings on tournament set-up (not that I am that experienced) is that our influence as superintendents needs to be minimal. Get the course at a point on Thursday so that it can be prepared and let go through the weekend. Or when you have the resources then set it up one way and keep it there for the entire championship. The heavy watering on Saturday was an unfortunate manipulation of the conditions as they were.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033783338028414295noreply@blogger.com
