One of the popular discussions for golf media types is to argue who is the best player never to win a major. Until this year, Lefty was the clear winner in this field. I guess after the Masters though, this has become a bit more muddied.
But what about best course never to hold a major? I guess the easy answer is Pine Valley. Some other popular picks might be Seminole, Sand Hills, Cypress Point. So how about two picks. One well known course, and one maybe under the radar. Like it or not, the PGA has taken their championships to some lesser known layouts (Valhalla, Shoal Creek, Kemper Lakes). So where are some of the other hidden gems. Don't worry about logistics, membership policy, etc. just name a course where you would like to see the big boys play.
Best Known: Cypress Point--I'm sure I'll never get to play it, so it would at least be nice to see it on TV. The pictures alone make the hairs on my neck stand up. And if my wife could go back to Carmel for the shopping, I could probably get her to come along for the tourney!
Less Known: Honors Course--I know to archie nerds like us, the Honors may be well known, but ask the average golf fan and they wouldn't have a clue what you are talking about. Great course, and I guess I'm just biased for anything below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Really unknown: Miller Golf Course, Murray KY--My home course. Not worthy of hosting any type of tournament except the traditional 4 man scrambles for charity, but I would like to see the pros make mince meat out of a course that some times drives me crazy.
