Boring golf, boring golf course!

Hope it gets better.

I suppose no prizes for guessing what you are referring to.

I don't disagree, but I suspect poor old Balty suffers a touch from coming so soon after the joy of Troon.

But then maybe I am still being generous.  It did seem to be much the same hole played over and over and again.

The PGA always suffers from coming too soon after the US and British Opens.  It'd be a lot better if it was much later in the year to help build up towards it (which would also help space out the majors, rather than having them all within a 5 month spell).

I believe the thought is you don't want a major in September or October as you are up against college and pro football.

The PGA was played several weeks earlier than usual this year due to the Olympics.

It was only moved two weeks, it's still not much extra time to get enthused about another major tournament.  Check the excitement level prior to the tournament compared to the other majors, it's not even close.


And I know the NFL season takes priority on US TV come September, but it still seems a bit lousy to be scheduling golfs majors around another sport.  August in the north east is not a good time to be hosting a major and it often does end in a race against time/weather.
