Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4688934, member: 1969"] Its a USGA choice not a PGA choice. There are a lot of courses that are beautiful - that is not generally what the US Open is after. (and not its not political in the slightest) They like hard courses with historical significance (Oakmont, Pinehurst, Shinnecock, Winged Foot, Pebble Beach, Oakland Hills) and they also seem to enjoy that "Grittier" look to a course (for example what Pinehurst did with its restoration) Those are all historically relevant courses. Apparently the Los Angeles CC has been a club they wanted for a long time as well Trump National is clearly not at that calibre from a historical reputation. Also a lot of courses that seem hard to us minions can be easily destroyed by PGA tour members. [/QUOTE]
