On Friday of last week, Jerry Crowe of the LA Times reported that the LPGA Tour has decided that Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California is not a good fit for a regular season LPGA Tour event. (The article can be found here.)
Carolyn Bivens said “As gorgeous as [the course] is, it doesn’t have easy access to the rules officials. And because an awful lot of the environment is protected, the Coastal Commission controls a lot of the out-of-bounds [areas] right off the course area. That slows up play as well. We do not want to have six-hour rounds….”
I watched some of the Office Depot Championship and it was an absolutely beautiful golf course, but I agree with Bivens when it comes to pace of play. The play took forever and I watched way too many people make huge numbers of the first hole.
Donald!! You’re Fired!
