I will be interested in what course the PGA chooses in Mexico. I stopped playing golf about ten years ago because of arthritis in my hands, but I still like reading a book on Sundays and watching it on tv. I've never been to Mexico, and have no desire to go, but if I still played and there was a resort down there with a really nice course .....
Trump cooked his own goose with uncivil things he said, but it makes sense for the PGA to hold an event down there.
American golf has always been stuffy. You can't buy your way onto a lot of the courses the PGA has tourneys on, but in Britain you can play on British Open courses so long as you have a letter from your club pro and book ahead. Or you could ten years ago.
It's been years since I've been to Mexico, but two things stand out, one was the traffic congestion and two was the smog at 5,000ft. If those two things remain, the only time a visitor will be comfortable is staying close to the course wherever it may be.
