The tournament schedule consists of a Ladies Pro-Am on Monday (dubbed the ProGlam) and a Men’s Pro-Am double shotgun on the Tuesday. The practice round is Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are rounds one and two in the format of double crossovers. The cut is made after Friday’s round. Saturday and Sunday are straight times.
Post-tournament recovery is an issue that anyone who hosts a major event has to deal with, however it is not often talked about. I have read many articles about tournament preparation and hosting big events, but recovery is not generally included. In order to discuss recovery, it is necessary to review what brought on the need for the recovery.
When I was notified by the club that we would be hosting a major event and I received the course conditioning guidelines from the PGA Tour of America, it all seemed a bit overwhelming. We are a crew of 10, which includes my assistant, my mechanic and me; hardly what I pictured for staff at regular tour stops like Bay Hill!
