A great week for GCA study?
« on: June 28, 2012, 03:05:23 PM »
We have TV coverage of events at Royal Portrush, Fox Chapel and Congressional (not ideal, but beats most of the other tour stops for GCA interest).

Can you recall a week that had this many treats?

As an aside, where would you put the newly crowned Web.com event and the LPGA to round out a great fivesome?

To answer your first question, no, it is rare when there is so much architectural interest on a single weekend.  I think many would put this week's Nationwide stop at Victoria National a step or two above Congressional as well.  I don't know a thing about the LPGA event.

Well, for studying how a great site for a course can be mucked up...
