PINEHURST NO. 2 - BY THE NUMBERS

From my friends at the USGA. 
Here are some interesting figures to keep in mind as you watch the U.S. Open:
 
11 to 12: The target green speed measured by a USGA Stimpmeter.

0.45: The approximate mowing height of the fairways in inches.

40: The acres of rough turf removed during the 2010 restoration project, reducing maintained turf to 50 acres.

650: The number of irrigation heads removed during restoration project. Total water usage was reduced 70%.

70: Number of plant species found in the sandy wiregrass areas.
