Cruden Bay is fantastic, Elie is worth a visit.

Because if you want to try and elevate above its current standing, it’s the logical course of action. The PGA tour are continuously pushing The Players as the 5th major, inevitably there will be calls to drop the PGA as a major and The Players replacing it.

Of course it could be taken around the world, but still ran by the PGA of America. They then liaise with the host country’s governing golf body to help organise it.

If anyone is visiting Dundonald, try and get a tee time at Western Gailes too.

It would certainly elevate it above its current it’s current standing.

It would definitely elevate it above its current standing without a doubt, if not place it first, certainly second, especially to the professionals of the countries it travels too.

The PGA Championship should travel the globe. If it was rotated between say two years in the USA then the third year rotate it between Australia, Japan, South Korea or South Africa for example, it would become the most important in a short space of time.

I’d bet that 100% of professional golfers would want to win The Masters over The Players. I doubt any professional would have any regrets about never winning The Players.

The Old Course is unreal, even if you take away the history side and it’s still a brilliant course. I’ve played most of the top courses in Scotland and still rank it as my number one. Unfortunately with green fees to playing the top courses, its supply and demand and the demand is there.

Member of two clubs, one is a heathland course and the other is a parkland course. The parkland course is approximately a 5-10 min drive, the heathland is a 25 min drive.

If someone is slow, there’s nothing the other 3 can do, it’s obvious to people behind the cause of the slow play. But it’s a touchy subject bringing it up with people. No one likes to be told they are slow and causing issues within the group.

Because it’s a golf forum, we talk about all aspects of golf, and just asking if other people have had a similar situation.

True it’s his choice, but his slow play not only affects the group behind but also the group he is in. You need a little bit of consideration for other people.

It would bankrupt him Thats the thing though isn’t you don’t want to bin him off. It seems like that’s the last resort.

Wouldn’t say he was that kind of mate, he’s a nice fella, but not your typical micky taking banter like the other lads.
