[edit] To-Do list

  2. Create golf course articles for every major venue, also to have every golf course article have same information box in the corner.
  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. Discuss notability guidelines for golf courses on the talk page.
  5. Improve Taylormade-adidas article from a stub to full length.
  6. Create individual major pages i.e. 2006 Open Championship, 2005 Masters Tournament
  7. Add individual articles on sister companies. i.e. seperate Nike Golf from Nike
  8. Add desriptions of each hole on a golf course's article.
  9. Add infoboxes to all current European Tour events.
  10. Add flags alongside winners in all PGA and European Tour tournaments.

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.
