  • A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS the AMERICAN WEST GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 by Dean Knuth
    A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS THE AMERICAN WEST GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 By Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at age 60 William Watson was an important pioneer of early golf course architecture who is all but forgotten. You know the names of Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie and A.W. Tillinghast. You may not know William Watson, a man whom history has passed over, but you should. William Watson had a successful career and designed more than 100 golf courses before his retirement in 1929, when the Great Depression began. Many of his courses have survived for nearly a century, including his first U.S. design, the Minikahda Club in Minnesota. That is where he also landed his first job as head professional. Watson immigrated from Fife, Scotland, near St. Andrews to America in 1898. He was a prolific designer and a success in California. A number of his other best-known designs have hosted major USGA and PGA National Championships, including Harding Park, San Diego Country Club, the original Brentwood Country Club, Diablo Country Club, Berkeley Country Club and Orinda Country Club. He designed the original The Olympic Club Lake and Ocean courses plus many others which unfortunately did not survive housing developments on land that became more valuable as America grew. His primary design goal was to maintain naturalness. Watson wrote:, “A good rule is to stress the importance of fitting in all grading work to harmonize with the surrounding territory, mounds, slopes, grassy hollows, sand pits, all have their values in beautifying the setting of our greens and in giving them distinctive definition — if artificially arranged without appearance of artificiality.” He also believed that a course is more interesting if every green has a character all its own, giving the player something besides the flag to view in approaching the hole.

  • Förberedelser Och Skötsel Av Mästerskapsbana
    Förberedelser och skötsel av mästerskapsbana ett arbete om Solheim Cup 2007 på Halmstad Golfklubb Andreas Jönsson (760426-4676) 0708584440 – [email protected] Halmstad, 2008-07-29 HGU 2006 Handledare: Kim Sintorn Sammanfattning För att preparera en bana både före och under en tävling behöver man mycket resurser i form av personal, maskiner och transportfordon. Under Solheim Cup på Halmstad Golfklubb visade det sig krävas mer än en fördubbling av personalstyrkan. Med denna ökning följde självklart ett behov av i stort sett en lika stor ökning av antalet maskiner och transportfordon. Exempelvis kör en foregreenklippare både norra och södra banan under högsäsong. Under Solheim Cup nyttjades två stycken enbart på tävlingsbanan (norra). Eftersom antalet greenkeepers och maskiner helt plötsligt blir mycket stort är det viktigt att man utarbetar en detaljerad plan över vem som ska göra vad och med vilken maskin, eller åtminstone hur många personer som krävs för varje arbetsuppgift. Detta bör man enligt mig börja med så tidigt som möjligt. Det är också viktigt att man, om möjligt, ännu tidigare arbetar fram en plan över vad som skall göras på banan inför tävlingen, alltså inte bara skötseln under tävlingsveckan. Med ett normalt skötselprogram säsongerna innan en tävling kommer man troligtvis inte behöva göra några radikala förändringar i detta program. Det som krävdes hos oss var dock en ökning i frekvens på valda moment ur programmet. Dessa var i princip gödsling, luftning, vertikalskärning samt dressning. Utöver detta krävdes det också några inte varje år förekommande arbeten. För att lokalisera dessa hade vi på Halmstad Golfklubb stor hjälp av LET:s Tour Agronomist Julian Mooney och tre bankonsulenter från SGF, nämligen Mikael Frisk, Göran Hansson samt Kim Sintorn.

  • Bob Hughes Vice President, Supplier Relations & Expositions
    March 30, 2018 Dear Members of the Nominating Committee: I am looking forward to our Nominating Committee during the NACS State of the Industry Summit and working with you to populate the board with qualified and diversified candidates. In the April meeting, we will select new, eager suppliers for the NACS Supplier Board. Along with deciding who the new members will be, we will have some challenges as you decide who moves up, who doesn’t and who, unfortunately, will rotate off. Decision One We promote Dave Riser to the chair. I would hope that is obvious, but we still need to vote him up. Decision Two Vice chairs in their 2nd (last term) are Tim Quinn and Drew Mize. Tim recently announced his retirement from Mars Wrigley (May 2018). With this information, we should consider promoting Drew to chair-elect. The other Vice Chair is Rick Brindle, who will be finishing just his first term and can remain Vice Chair for another year. Decision Three We currently have 21 of our allowed 25 supplier seats open (due to retirements or role changes). We like to have 1 or 2 seats open to give the supplier board flexibility to adjust and add a major CPG company or manpower if we are struggling on an initiative. We should also have two available Vice Chair seats, unless we promoted Rick which would give us three openings. The 2015 class that will term off in October 2018 are Brent Cotten and Frank Squilla. Both are very strong contributors that will hopefully find their way up to Vice Chair.
