Interesting seeing as the Grove has no members

I did read an article / interview with Luke Donald in the lead up to this year's event that the Grove might be where he hosts it.

They have some sort of corporate scheme there. Think its something like 10k a year and the company gets x amounts of slots per week

Like the sound of that. Me and the old man enjoyed our day there earlier this year at the Senior Open.

I guess money rather than quality of course is going to be the most important factor as to where its hosted then, so many better options imho

The Director of golf at the belfry said they were giving the opportunity to express their interest but didn't have the 750,000 they wanted
This was a passing comment so not sure what he ment

Would they not absolutely rip Sunningdale apart given its length?
I'd love to see them put it on a non-open rota links, or a classic heathland.

Make the tee times 6mins, cram some more 4 balls on there and you'd soon have the £750k

Isn't Westwood hosting it next year? I imagine Close House would be favourite if so....

I didn't rip it apart so I doubt the pros would
Seriously though, the New (or even a composite course) would stand up pretty well given that it has recently hosted international Open qualifying.

I dont see why people hate seeing pro's shoot low numbers, nothing more exciting for me than seeing a birdie fest!

For me the coverage gets a bit boring watching putts from 2 foot
I think a good mix is needed
Long but with dangers at driving distances , a drivable par 4 in there , a mix of short and long par 3's , par 5's that can be reached but with a little risk and greens that are receptive but not like dartboards

They may need to host it a little earlier in the year to avoid that!
