first piece of the week from hazeltine

[Jay Flemma]

I am not convinced that each"change' to Hazeltine has done anything to improve what truly is an average major championship golf course.

MWP, Jason Topp's defense of Hazeltine (which he doesn't love) in this difference of opinion with Flemma is identical to mine seven years ago with Jaka.

Hazeltine is a below average Major championship golf course.  I don't think anyone has ever argued otherwise.  It is, however, an outstanding Major championship venue, which is why it has held two US Opens, a US Senior, two US Womens Opens, two PGAs, the NCAA Championship, US Amateur, and is slated to have a future Ryder Cup.
