There are 41 PGA sections in the U.S. Every summer, each section has it's own C.P.C. (Club Pro Championship). Each section sends a certain number of qualifiers to the National C.P.C., based on the number of players. The section I am in, Middle Atlantic Section is having our C.P.C. in just a couple weeks in Williamsburg, VA. The top 11 finishers from our section will then advance to the National CPC in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico at the end of June next year. The top 20 finishers in New Mexico will then play in the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazletine in Minn.

Whatever they are, they aren't on our major(PGA TOUR) or minor tours(Nationwide.) They aren't on the Euro PGA TOUR either. Whoever they are, they aren't on one of the 3 best golf tours in the World. I don't know why they let them play in a major golf tournament if they aren't on a major tour, but if one of them can shoot +1 on this course set up, then it's proof to me that the course is not as hard as these guys are making it out to be. They just aren't hitting it straight, and you have to in majors.
