  • Ron Arnst's HMG Course Collection Summaries
    HISTORY MAKER GOLF Championship Golf Game • Course Summaries Course Collection ONE Blackjack GC, Las Vegas NV / based on TPC SUMMERLIN TPC Summerlin’s layout, carved from a magnificent swath of rugged desert terrain by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed, provides a good reference for the Blackjack GC. TPC Summerlin’s lush bentgrass greens, numerous water features and an abundance of pine trees all contrast dramatically with undisturbed desert washes. The course features four closing holes that deliver top flight golf drama. The final charge begins with the par 4, 15th hole – a drivable par 4 that will temp most players. If the tee shot misses the green, an “up and down” birdie is possible, but not easy, due to the severely elevated and undulated green – which is surrounded by five bunkers that regularly attract stray tee shots. The 16th hole is a relatively downhill par-5 that is reachable with two good shots. The green is guarded by water short of the green, and bunkers beyond. Only a mid-iron will be necessary for the second shot, with a birdie almost a certainty. A challenging and un-nerving par-3, the 17th hole plays downhill with the green guarded closely by a lake on the left and by bunkers on the right. Par is good score and birdies are rare, should players need to make up ground. The 18th is a well-designed and strategic finishing hole which moves right to left off the tee. The green is protected on the left by a lake. An aggressive tee shot with the driver can leave the player just a short iron to a very deep green from front to back.

  • The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars
    \The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars: A Reexamination of the Evidence"1 Robert A. Connolly and Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. February 22, 2013 1Robert A. Connolly is Associate Professor, Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. is Professor Emeritus, Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Visiting Professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. The authors thank the PGA TOUR for providing the ShotLink data and a portion of the Official World Golf Rankings data used in connection with this study and Mark Broadie, Edwin Burmeister and David Dicks for providing very helpful comments. We thank Jennifer Brown for providing us with a condensed ver- sion of her STATA code, providing her weather and Official World Golf Ranking data, and providing lists of events employed in her study. We also thank her for responding to many of our questions in corre- spondence and providing comments on earlier drafts of this paper. Please address comments to Robert Connolly (email: robert [email protected]; phone: (919) 962-0053) or to Richard J. Rendleman, Jr. (e-mail: richard [email protected]; phone: (919) 962-3188). `Quitters Never Win: The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars: A Reexamination of the Evidence" Abstract In \Quitters Never Win: The (Adverse) Incentive Effects of Competing with Superstars," Brown (2011) argues that professional golfers perform relatively poorly in tournaments in which Tiger Woods also competes. We show that Brown's conclusions are based on a problematic empirical design, which if corrected yields no evidence of a superstar effect.
