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. -

By Larry Aylward, Editor in Chief
BY LARRY AYLWARD, EDITOR IN CHIEF With another year coming to a close, it's time to hand out some awards to recognize certain golf industry individuals for their achievements. But these awards are not for formal accom- plishments, such as Best Golf Course Superintendent in the Universe. They're granted to those whose actions reflect integrity. And Lord knows the world can use more of that So let's get to it Please hold your applause until all awards have been presented. And congratulations to this year's honorees. A 1 He's Got Guts Award MATT SHAFFER GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT MERION GOLF CLUB, ARDMORE, PA. Superintendents need someone like Matt Shaffer because he has the fortitude to discuss topics that oth- ers don't want to touch with a 10-foot bunker rake. Take superintendents' salaries, for instance. A lot of superintendents know how they feel about the issue — that they should make more than some of their courses' equiv- alents — but they might not want to talk about how they feel in fear of repercussions, like the hammer coming down on them from their respective general managers. But not Shaffer, who says superintendents wear more hats than pros and general man- agers. "Superintendents today are obviously better educated, and we are equal to or bet- ter than any other person on the property," Shaffer told Golfdom earlier this year. "We ought to be compensated accordingly, but I don't necessarily think that's the case." Next time any of you superintendents see Shaffer, you can thank him for speaking up about your pay raises. -
