PGA Championship

[GPK]

Scuds, the 20 PGA Club Pros that are playing this week get there from a couple different qualifying levels. Again, they are not all teaching pros.

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.

Kev, they shouldn't have these guys in a major golf tournament. Each year, one of them shoots a good round, and then blows up like a child with a disease. They shouldn't be taking spots that people on pro golf tours should have. There is a reason these guys aren't on pro tours.

+12,+13,+14,+15,+16(one f'n round,) +17,+19,+21,+22,+24

What's the point in this here?

Not if you weren't on a major golf tour. It's the stupidest thing I have ever seen(having people in major golf tournaments when they aren't even qualified to play on a major golf tour.) They should respect the effort these guys make to get onto major golf tours. If they belonged, then they would (once in a while) contend for the win, but they don't belong in the tournament, and they always get their a-s-s handed to them on the weekend.

Its the PGA Championship...which means its OUR championship. Certain amount of slot are set aside every year for PGA Members...and that is the way it should be. The guys that aren't PGA Members have all year long to try and qualify for the tournament, we only have ONE event all year that we are able to qualify through. If those guys can't get in after having all year to qualify, TOUGH SH*T. The PGA Championship should always reserve spots for a limited amount of Club Pros to get in.
