NEWSLETTER Before Self Is Taught Where lives are changed, careers begin, and service NEWSLETTER before self is taught. Summer 2020 FROM THE DIRECTOR Greetings once again from the Director’s Office of the MU PGA Golf Management Program – its been quite an end to the school year and summer given our country’s battle with the invisible enemy, Covid-19. We have used this time to tackle a number of tasks on the golf course and kick off our course renovation project as well. These exciting projects included: 1) Stripping the existing turf, leveling and replacing the sod on tees for Holes 5 (back tee), 12, 14 and 15. 2) Assisting the golf course maintenance staff to prune trees and clean up debris on Holes 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 18. The GCM staff was also able to remove trees from behind Hole 14, creating an alternative tee to be used on the 7th hole, adding 50+ yards to that hole. 3) Rebuilt the structure and replaced the deck boards on the walking bridges for Holes 16 and 17. 4) Finally, the Downback Renovation Project and its two phases – a. Phase 1 – We kicked off the summer by stripping the current practice tee, had a contractor come in and laser level it and then re-sprig with new bermuda. The project went smoothly and Ryan Hull, Golf Course Superintendent, feels confident it will be ready for use when the students return. The second part of this project is installing a strip of artificial turf to the back of the practice tee for students to utilize when we experience wet conditions or during overseeding in the fall. This part of the project will be completed late summer or early fall. b. Phase 2 – Golf Course Renovation – the University has contracted with Signet Golf from Pinehurst to complete the following items: - Build a new green on the first hole in the area behind the current 15th green. This new green will add 115 yards to the hole and it will now be a par 5. - Build a new back tee on Hole 4 – this new tee will add approximately 35 yards to the hole. - Build a new forward tee on Hole 7, shifting from the right side of the fairway to the left side for safety concerns given the renovations to Hole 11. See Hole 11 notes below. - Build a new back tee on Hole 8 – this new tee will add approximately 25 yards to the hole. - Build 2 new tees on Hole 11 – these tees allowed us to lengthen the hole to 285 yards from the forward tee and 335 yards from the back tee, while also converting the hole to a par 4. In summary, these items allow the course to not only meet the new PAT yardage requirement of 6,350 yards, but exceed it. The new course will be able to play at a maximum of 6,550 yards and par 71. We can’t wait for it to be finished and for you to give it a try. So, looking back at my first year as Director - it was a whirlwind to say the least. Never a dull moment and something that was challenging and fun at the same time. Looking ahead, even more fun to come as we head into a fall semester with so many unanswered questions about how it will look and when we can return to some sense of normal again, but we will continue to tackle each challenge head on! On a positive note, enrollment for this year’s freshman class is up 50% over last year. As always - I couldn’t be more proud of our students and alumni, and truly blessed to be a part of this rich and storied program here Downback. Congrats to those alumni receiving PGA Membership and being promoted in the past year. Keep us informed so Mrs. Lee can continue to post your updates! More Affordable Than You Think, More Valuable Than You Know. Summer 2020 Internship Placement It’s Time to Remember As one of the main requirements of the PGA Golf Management program, internships are both fundamental and critical for This fall the PGA Golf Management Program is going to be installing a two-sided solar clock and memorial multiple reasons. Internships represent an integral link betweeen the academic knowledge and an understanding of day-to- garden as a way to memorialize former students and alumni in a special way whose life has been cut short. The day operations within the golf industry. It is on their internship that students learn how to practically apply the information memorial clock garden will be installed on the practice facility near the Krick Teaching Center.

  • 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.
