Trading up

My story in today’s paper looks at Wykagyl’s preparations for the upcoming HSBC Women’s World Match Play Championship in July—and specifically how that tournament will be different from the Sybase Classic.
I said it when the club first landed the HSBC, and I’ll say it again: this is a definite upgrade for this area, and that is as much a reflection of the unique nature of the match play event as it is the general lack of buzz that surrounded the Sybase. The consistent truth about golf in this area is that you often need to hit fans over the head with something extraordinary to get them excited.
Naturally the U.S. Open at Winged Foot last year was one example. And to a smaller degree, the HSBC, which will likely feature every top player in the women’s game, will be another.
Granted, there is a good chance that an unheralded player will survive the tournament’s six rounds and come away with the title, as has been the case in each of the tournament’s first two years. But match play is such that there will be invariably be some drama along the way.
Like I said, it’s a step up. How big a step up is still to be determined.
