USGA Prepares For Disaster
/
No, no not what you were thinking. We won't know those ticket and corporate sales numbers until the end of the year.
Neal Weinberg explains how the USGA has formed a partnership with IBM to provide its servers disaster recovery services.
A couple of things stood out in this 1122-word epic:
E-mail is a critical application for the USGA, which generates 150,000 messages a day. "It's really been on my mind," Carroll says. E-mail communication between the USGA and its members is "necessary to run to business."
She adds, "Last summer the phone system went down for a couple of days and nobody blinked an eye. If e-mail is off for 30 seconds, the help desk phones are ringing."
Safe to say the folks at Far Hills really don't like talking on the phone!
Also note the USGA-supplied image of Ms. Carroll. Might those be high-heels on the new Gil Hanse constructed "Himalayas" putting green?
Testing a new USGA Green Section concept for green aerification are we?
