It is full of the posh exclusiveness that gives golf a bad name.
A tournament where you are only invited via exclusive lists shouldn't be a major.
A major should be a tournament every single golfer both pro and amateur should have the chance to play in.
They are so full of themselves.
Also the majors should be played on courses that the public can play on. Augusta you can't.
it is an exclusive course and real posh ill give you that.
there is only a field of 100 in this so its limited in that aspect.the top 50 ranked golfers automatically qualify and along with previous winners,highest ranked amateurs and some invitations makes that 100.
the last major is the pga players one and thats open to any golf pro or amateur through various rankings and competitions or it is possible to go the happy gilmore route providing you have a low handicap and are good enough to qualify.
most real decent quality courses arent public and are either private or member owned and pretty much all do green fees.id say augusta is similar and have open days where you can play.it all comes down to how much you would be willing to pay.personally i would pay up to $300 dollars for a game there if i could.
this course is a beast and it brings out the best in a golfer to win it, and your always guaranteed a thrilling finish.
its one of the biggest accolades for a pro golfer to win and they all want to do just that and thats what brings out the best in them and makes for a great tournament.
