Course pictures by Brian Morgan or many Course Managers Fand Head Greenkeepers the arrival of the pros for a tourna- ment, whether it be a small pro- am or a major Tour event, is the highlight of a season, or in some cases, a career.

It means that „ BUZZ never stops at there is always something coming up to keep Chris Kennedy and his team from letting, the grass grow under their feet.
