[edit] To-Do list

2. Create golf course articles for every major venue.
3. Create pages for all tournaments on the tours that are on Wikipedia. i.e. Champions Tour, Asian Tour, Challenge Tour to name a few.
4. Pick an article to go for featured status on the talk page.
5. Discuss notability guidelines for golf courses on the talk page.
6. Create a template for golf courses eg Location, Par, Rating etc.
7. Improve Taylormade-adidas article from a stub to full length.

When a task has been done, simply put a cross through it. By no means should this be the only tasks being done. If you believe there is another task, do it and add it to the section below.
