Rebuilding requires patience, and thanks to depth of its sophomore talent, the Harvard men’s golf team finally saw a payoff for last season’s rebuilding with a strong finish at the season-opening Mid-Pines Intercollegiate.Competing in a crowded thirteen-team field in Southern Pines, N.C., the Crimson managed a fourth-place finish by posting a three-round team score of 870. Harvard teed off at the Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club looking to build on a strong finish last season as the then-freshmen gained valuable playing experience.Though East Carolina took...
...Keeping operators happy will be a challenge. CEO Kallasvuo is optimistic. Extolling connectivity, he told a story about how in the middle of a rainy golf outing he fetched an Internet weather report on his cellphone, indicating the showers would soon cease and allow him to resume playing. His impressed golf mates asked, "What do you have in that thing?" Long time business partners are now probably asking the same question, but not necessarily in the same approving manner.

"We weren't expecting a big bounce, but it beat our expectations, and it's the first step toward breaking the stigma that Top-Flite has had for the last 10 years," says Jeff Colton, senior vice president of R&D at Callaway, who oversaw Top-Flite...
Indeed, the Ginn Co., a Florida-based developer, wants to build a 5,300-acre resort with a ski hill, golf course and 1,700 units of housing on nearby Battle Mountain. Of course, local opinion is split. Some say such a big-box project will generate jobs and tax revenue. Opponents argue that it will ruin the town's Grateful Dead--meets--Hooterville character, turning it into something more like Sun Valley or Aspen...
