“Is it troublesome to anyone else that in a contest that pretends to involve the state of New York, with a phenomenal number of courses from which to choose, that "Game 5" features Baltusrol, a course in New Jersey?”
“Or Game 1 with Pine Valley also in New Jersey, for that matter.”
SteveB:
I guess you don’t understand the way Northeast golf works, do you?
New York and the New York Metropolitan Golf Association (MET) basically owns North Jersey and Philadelphia and the Golf Association of Philadelphia (GAP) basically owns South Jersey. That is the way it’s pretty much been in golf for a century.
Didn’t you even watch The Sopranos? Those guys from North Jersey felt like South Jersey was some kinda foreign country and they were probably right because for over a century South Jersey has pretty much belonged to GAP!
If the Met and GAP get into some territorial war as to what club should be in which association there is only one reasonable and fair way, at this point, to decide the issue. If you want to know what way that is just feel completely free to ask me.
