duckdodger215 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm getting kinda pissed about all of the future (and mostly current) US Open tournaments taking place in NY and Cali. I know Pinehurst #2 was last year, but look at the future Open Championship locations: 2007 - Oakmont, PA 2008 - Tourey Pines - CA 2009 - Bethpage - Black - NY 2010 - Pebble Beach 2011 - Congressional - Blue - MD 2012 - Olympic (san fran) - CA that's 4 of the next 6 are in cali or NY, and MD is pretty much a northeastern state. what, i cant say "pizzed"?

duckdodger215 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 i wouldn't mind seeing one in alabama. the robert trent jones golf trail runs through the state, and im sure there are a couple of worthy courses that could host an open.

kinghernandez Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Yeah, but none of them are U.S. Open Courses. Torrey Pines fits the bill perfectly because it long and you may not make it back alive if you venture far off the fairway. The other part is credibility. If you look at that list most of those are historical courses that have succesfully hosted previous tournaments. The problem is the cliamte. The midwest doesn't have many notable golf courses to begin with. The southeast gets a lot of rain and humidity which leads to softer courses, the #1 enemy of the USGA. Winged Foot set the tone for the next ten years. I wouldn't be suprised if 10 over wins by the time Olympic Club rolls around. If you want to talk about a bias Alaska has never had a tournament . There's a rumor going around that we might be getting a Nationwide event though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
