I fail to understand the logic of Conway being 35-minutes from Downtown Chicago as a negative. Heck, it sits right of the interchange of I-94. Plus it is that much closer to Milwaukee. In a metro area boasted over 10 million people, it really doesn't matter where it is within a 35-mile ring, as long as there is ample parking nearby.
Of course the best place for the Western was Bultler which practically sits at the intersection of several Interstates and is about as central to the popultion as you can get. But, alas it has a politically incorrect membership policy. Like Butler, I'm sure Conway will be able to piggy-back on all the nearby corporate parking lots on Sat and Sun.
It's a sad commentary when the Tour says it is worried about how it will look on TV (holes 4-7). There will be plenty of spectators. I thought the idea was to get the best course for the players. Silly me.
