PGA.com: Your course is a public municipal course, open to play to all types and levels of golfer. How do you maintain that openness and still keep it a worthy test of PGA TOUR players.

Evans: To be honest, we don't really do that much -- we don't have to. George Hanson just built a superb course back in 1929, one that is enjoyable for all levels of golfers but a stern test for the world?s best players. We are tree-lined for seventeen and a half holes, we have thick rough which penalizes greatly anyone in it, but we are also straight-forward and scenic. Every year, we hear from the TOUR players how much they enjoy playing here and how they wish there were more courses like this on the TOUR. So to tell the truth, there?s no magic to what we do, it's just a really good golf course.

PGA.com: Wow, opened in 1929? How does a course that old stay current and competitive in a golf world that makes so many older courses obsolete?

Evans: Well, the long bomber really doesn't have a distinct advantage here. There are several holes here that are more strategic holes, where even the average length hitter should reconsider hitting a driver. By the end of the week, you'll see where the collection areas for many of the holes are, because these are spots that almost everyone will have to hit to in order to have optimal approach shot opportunities. And even more, we have a lot of trees here, they are old and they are big. You have to avoid them as you get around this course. Combine that with the thick rough, this can be a very penal course. That's also what makes it timeless. Nothing tricky, but a good solid test of golf.

PGA.com: How would you describe your course to golfers who have never seen it or played it?

Evans: I like to use the term: "Classic American Golf," to describe our course. Lots of trees, very scenic and well-maintained, pretty secluded with no major highways or anything running by it. It's not a modern day circus type golf course, there are no great mysteries or tricks. It's all right there in front of you. That is the beauty of it, and that?s also the difficulty of it. It's all right there -- and yet it can be so tough.

PGA.com: What advice do you have for the players who will be teeing it up this week?

Evans: Unless you are truly one of the shorter hitters on the TOUR, you need to be real selective as to when you hit your driver. I've seen it many times over the years as players who might be a little unfamiliar with the course come out and try to overpower the layout. That just doesn't happen. Hit to your targets, stay out of the rough, and keep the ball below the hole. That advice would serve any of the TOUR players well.

PGA.com: What type of golf community is the Milwaukee area?

Evans: Very diverse. Our course is 100% public, so you just never know who is going to come through the doors. And we've seen it all. Because of the visibility of our course due to the U.S. Bank Championship, we get all kinds of players making special trips up here: Absolute beginners to the best amateurs to TOUR guys to entertainment and sports celebrities. We get pretty much any golfer who ends up in the Greater Milwaukee area, they usually try to come out. So I've seen it all. We might have Justin Timberlake come out and in the group right behind him have four players who are out for the first rounds of golf ever. It's great, it really is.

PGA.com: A certain golfer made his professional debut at your course back in 1996. I can?t remember his name. I bet you can. Is that recognized at your course?

Evans: [laughter] I think I know who you might be referring to. Yes, we are very proud of the fact the Tiger Woods made his professional debut here, but we haven't commemorated that yet. It is in the works. I'm thinking a plaque on our tenth tee signifying where he hit is first professional shot and possibly something in the clubhouse as well.
