I was asked in another thread about setup changes for this year's Chevon...
There have been many improvements made for this year's tourney and perhaps the most significant was switching the mowers for our greens. We went with Baroness LM18G mowers and it's made a noticeable difference on the smoothness of the roll on the green. Their website is:

With our old wider mowers we were getting some slight scalping and in other spots grass that was slightly higher. We now have a smoother and more consistent putting surface.
I was just at the practice green and the pros noticed the difference right away.
Our rough is more consistent from aeration and cutting trees back, the fairways are F&F also due to regular aeration and better water management, and our newish bunkers have had a year to settle and are very consistent.
The TW Foundation people have added more grandstands and more food options. For example, we will have a Morton's Steakhouse tent this year featuring sandwiches and chili. It will be interesting to see how the public responds to that one.
My predicted winner: Graham McDowell. He's playing very good golf and he's VERY excited to be here.
