| Abstract/Contents: | States that "of the 71 U.S. [United States] Opens played prior to the 1972 national championship at Pebble Beach, all were at private clubs. Of the 17 Opens that have been or will be contested between 1999 and 2015, nine will be staged at publicly-accessible venues." Describes the shift from private courses to public courses. Mentions potential advantages of hosting an Open, stating that "the only impact an Open can have on a prestigious club is a headache...for any public golf course that is able to get the U.S. Open, it's sort of like being named the President of the United States." |
