The effort required to prepare for special events adds even more importance than normal to how the course is maintained. For member events, this can mean planning ahead weeks and months to ensure proper results and conditions. Yet for bigger events like the PGA Tour, it takes years of planning. Even though such large events are out of the ordinary for normal clubs, there is still much to be taken away in the form of useful information that can be scaled to the specific operation and club needs.
