Savannah should feel effects of Legends
It's not when the Champions Tour finishes its pass through the city and moves on to the next stop, even if that always does leave a sense of satisfaction for having seen another successful event here. And it's not when the last story after 26 straight days of work is filed, although that's certainly a good one, too. It's when the professional staff at The Club at Savannah Harbor gets their course back. For more than a week, these guys who love golf have come to work every day and seen their course in the best shape it will be in all year. They have looked out from the steps of the clubhouse and seen cross-striped fairways and baby-smooth putting greens. They have seen the television shots of conditions plush enough for a prestigious professional tournament. And they haven't been able to touch any of it.
