		Fore! The May issue of Inside Business swings into the golf season with an exclusive look at one of the region's largest sporting events: The World Golf Championships -- Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club in Akron. Senior Editor Morgan Lewis Jr. reveals the people who work behind-the-scenes to bring the event to life -- from building the corporate tents to preparing the course to cooking in the club's kitchens -- we find out how they set the stage for the annual event that attracts 150,000 visitors, a worldwide TV audience ... and, of course, Tiger Woods.
