GREENSBORO, N.C. — It is crunch week at the Sedgefield Country Club, as crews are just days away from the Wyndham Championship from teeing off.
While it may look like an easy set-up for those attending the tournament, there's a lot of work happening behind the scenes.
Eric Ferguson is the Sedgefield Country Club Golf Director. He said the golf shop transforms during the Wyndham Championship.
"Our golf shop actually becomes the merchandise tenant for this week of the tournament," said Ferguson. "Right now we are in the process of moving out all of our Sedgefield merchandise and transitioning into the 2023 Wyndham merchandise."
Consider this a 'shop swap.'
The Sedgefield Country Club's polos, golf bags, and other gear gets taken out of the shop and crews move in all of the Wyndham memorabilia for people to buy.
When you look across the course, as it's the week leading up to the big tournament, you will see more buildings, stands, and tents coming up as well.
Despite the heat, it is not slowing down crews.
You will also see Margaritaville start to go up as well.
Ferguson said everything is going smoothly. As each day gets closer to the big tournament, he said the team's excitement builds.
"There's a lot of excitement but also, maybe a little bit of nerves there as well," he said. "We need some cooperation from mother nature as well to finish up what we need to do for the week to get ready for next week.
Greensboro is nearly a week away from having nearly 100 thousand people come through for this.
