  • A Fescue Future?
    m A Fescue Future? In the conclusion of this two part series, Steve Isaac, Assistant Director - Golf Course Management The R&A, documents his investigation into Denmark's redevelopment of fescue greens. April's article, Seeing is Believing, described The R&A's introduction to the fescue greens of Denmark. Here, the story is picked up after our Golf Course Committee had digested the report from our initial visit. A Left and right: The contrasting environment to Falster greens - exposed and shaded • THE STRENGTH OF THE CASE? The real sign that growing fescue has become the accepted way of doing Thrilled as we were by what we had seen, there was the nagging concern things, rather than just a trend, in Denmark is that courses are now being as to how representative this movement toward fescue was. We needed to sown out with this grass to meet environmental restrictions and resource see more going through the process to be convinced this was a long-term availability. In this regard, the visit to Markusminde was, probably, the most commitment and not just the sort of short-term fancy seen, and then exciting of all. This course was sown throughout two years ago to discarded, by many in the UK, whose course management policy often fescue/bent.

In an interesting year, we have celebrated the heritage of our game, challenged ourselves to make the best use of resources in our sport and confirmed that constructive political engagement is an important part of our global governance role. At St Andrews, the 150th Anniversary Open Championship was staged and a new name was added to the Claret Jug, that of South African Louis Oosthuizen. No fewer than 27 former Champions had gathered for the historic event and witnessed his triumph. In the history of amateur golf, an important page was turned four years ago with the advent of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). This service to the men’s game was balanced in 2010 with the introduction of an equivalent women’s ranking, also at no cost to the sport. The rankings will, in future, be administered jointly by The R&A and the United States Golf Association, as we work together more closely to better serve the game, worldwide. It was my pleasure to present the 2010 US Amateur Champion, Peter Uihlein, with the Mark H McCormack Medal for the player occupying the top of the men’s ranking at the end of the amateur season.

  • Annual Review 2016
    The R&A Review 2016|17 Foreword Welcome to our review of the activities of The R&A for 2016/17. It was a very good year. Our merger with the Ladies’ Golf Union became a reality and a historic arrangement that divided the administration of our sport at the Home of Golf was removed. Our staff and committee structures will now function as one. We actively promote the view that golf will grow as a family-based sport and putting the administration of women’s and men’s golf in the same place makes absolute sense. In recent years, we have invested heavily in the presentation of the men’s amateur and professional events in The R&A portfolio. Now we will invest again in the championships and international matches that have been nurtured, skilfully, with lesser resources in the women’s branch of our sport. At the pinnacle of the professional game The Open and the Ricoh British Women’s Open gave us champions in 2016 who will inspire a new generation of golfers. Henrik Stenson triumphed at Royal Troon to become the first male Swede to win a Major and Ariya Jutanugarn became the first Thai Major winner at Woburn. Stenson followed up by taking Silver in the men’s competition at the Olympic Games in Rio behind Justin Rose while Inbee Park performed brilliantly to win Gold in the women’s event. Golf enjoyed a hugely memorable return to the Olympic Games and the exposure the sport received will help us to reach new participants and audiences for golf around the world.

In this, my first as Chairman, I wish to pay tribute to my predecessor, David Pepper, who completed a highly productive three-year term, the full period our corporate governance rules permit. One of my earliest duties was to follow through on our commitment to the development of the game, in Asia. In November, I joined Chairman of the Masters Tournament, Billy Payne and President of the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation (APCG), Kwang-soo Hur to oversee the inaugural playing of the Asian Amateur Championship. With the Masters, The R&A will underwrite the Asian Amateur in its early years and it is right that golf’s Majors should use their commercial success in this way. Played at Mission Hills, Shenzhen, China, Han Chang-won from Korea emerged a worthy winner. He earned a place at the Masters and the right to compete in International Final Qualifying (IFQ) for The Open in 2010 alongside runner-up and compatriot, Eric Chun. Eric produced an exceptional performance at IFQ Asia in March to book his place in The150 t h Anniversary Open Championship at St Andrews.
