Preparing the Course
As many of our clubs prepare for member-guest, invitationals, championships, and other marquee events, course conditioning is often top of mind. A recent article from the USGA’s Championship Agronomy team highlights several lessons from national championship preparation that can be applied at facilities of any size. While most clubs don’t have the resources of a major championship venue, the principles of planning ahead, prioritizing agronomic fundamentals, aligning conditions with the event and players, and protecting long-term turf health are just as relevant for delivering a successful event experience.

A. Remove the out of bounds stake before their next stroke if it is readily movable.

B. Take free relief from the stake by determining the nearest point of complete relief and dropping in a one club-length relief are from this point, no nearer the hole.

C. Push the out of bounds stake out of the way with their hands, provided the stake remains in the ground properly defining the boundary line.

D. Fairly take their stance, even if that results in the out of bounds stake being pushed to the side.
