GCM NewsWeekly

The prevailing story for golf facilities in the southeastern U.S. in the last half of 2007 was a prolonged and unrelenting drought that left courses saddled with dead or dying turfgrass and water-use restrictions. Now, after a winter that did little to quench that region’s thirst, superintendents are bracing for more of the same this year. In this issue of GCM, senior staff writer Terry Ostmeyer examines how courses in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and North Carolina are preparing for another year of drought and how the lessons those facilities have learned can be applied at courses coast to coast.

This month’s cover photo by Associated Press photographer John Bazemore features one of the effects of that drought, a dried-up lake bed at Lake Allatoona in Acworth, Ga.
