Last year's inaugural Symposium on Affordable Golf attracted 75 participants. Can this year's session draw 150?
That's the number Richard Mandell is shooting for, as his grass-roots effort to bring some sense to the golf business continues. The Pinehurst, North Carolina-based architect aims to make the symposium an annual get-together for those who want to have a frank, honest discussion about where the industry has been and where it's going.
“The more people who can attend with fresh ideas, the better we will all be able to transform the game we love into an affordable entity for all,” says Mandell.
So mark your calendars: This year's symposium will be held exactly a month from today, on Monday, November 7. The venue: The Elks Club Lodge in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The cost: Nothing.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to play a round of affordable golf on Tuesday, November 8 at Southern Pines Golf Club. The price: $35.
The headliners at the day-long program include Barney Adams, the founder of Adams Golf; Rob Waldron, the business development manager of Billy Casper Golf; and Mark Woodward, the former executive director of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
The other speakers and discussion leaders are golfers, golf course owners, developers, managers, and superintendents, along with golf course designers.

So who is the player going to complain to? Lucchino? Guess who Larry's going to back after the Sox hired the guy he wanted in the first place. And if recent memory served, at least some of the players failed to produce for a manager who had won two championships.
