  • 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.

    Women’s Golf Tournament Program - 116 pages PING CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN G OLF RICH HARVEST FARMS Fifty years ago, the first PING® putter was shipped from the Redwood City, California, garage of Karsten and Louise Solheim. The PING® 1A™ putter inaugurated a revolution in golf club design and manufacturing that would see Karsten’s company grow into a brand world-renowned for innovation and unequalled quality. Karsten, with his family at his side, went on to pioneer custom fitting and bring new processes to the manufacturing of golf clubs, including investment casting and heat treating. He recognized the value of scientific research and employed high speed cameras and a robotic golfer (The PING® Man) to analyze the dynamics of the golf club. His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry. It all led to more enjoyment for golfers all over the world. An engineer with an extensive background in the defense, aerospace and computer industries, he remains the only engineer to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Among the game-changing products that will be forever associated with Karsten are the Anser® putter and EYE2® irons. BUNKER HILL His wife of 63 years, Louise, who turned 91 in June, vividly remembers RICH HARVEST FARMS the moment Karsten informed her of his new putter’s name. “He came Be careful running into the kitchen,” she recalled, “and said, ‘I’ve got a name for my putter.’ I said ‘That’s nice, honey,’ and we ate our hamburgers and Proud sponsorof the of LPGA flat green vegetables without any particular celebration.
