The composite course at TCC is different world. If you take a golf course that was originally designed to play at 5500 yards and stretch it to 7000+, it becomes a bear. I was there for the '88 Open and was so close to Curtis Strange, I could have grabbed his sand wedge on his backswing, on his bunker shot on the 72nd hole. The '22 Open was a different world, but a great event. |

This happened every year in Cromwell CT. I avoided traveling in that area unless necessary. It was a nightmare.

there is probably not enough room here for a PGA tournament. You need the golf course, stands, hotels, parking, restaurants. Not feasible for here in the bubble. Besides, there is a PGA tournament right in Orlando in our backyard. The PGA wouldn't have another tournament so close.

Tour Events
Developers host tour events to promote the selling of housing. Events commit for about 5 years and then move on. I don't believe the Villages has any problem selling housing no matter how much they build.
They used Arnold and Nancy to get the place on the map and its been clean sailing. Really no sense in doing anything at all as the Villages sells itself at this point in time. |

How would they control the specters? Would people just stop on the street or golf cart path and get a free watch? Villagers would not pay, they would think that it was part of their amenities!

Neither the PGA nor the USGA asked question, but you raised a great question Question was brought up by a writer. No way would this ever happen. Florida already has 4 tournaments even after Doral was taken off the list

Very, very difficult. They could hire a medium and hold a seance, or possibly a psychic. Maybe ask nicely or employ The Ghostbusters. Much more difficult than controlling SPECTATORS.

You beat me to it. I still had my eyes wide, while contemplating how indeed to control specters. I like your 'ask nicely' idea best, as I think they probably can not be controlled. But the other options would be worth trying. Anything would be worth trying with a specter problem.
