First off, kudos to the Philadelphia Inquirer and Washington Post on their coverage the past six months of the future host of the 2010, '11 AT&T National. Joe Logan of the Inquirer first reported Tournament Chairman Greg McLaughlin's interest in Aronimink, located outside of Philly, as a possible site six months ago, and the club seems destined to be the host of the tournament, pending a vote, as Leonard Shapiro of the Post reported earlier today.
This is a pretty big insult to TPC Avenel and the PGA Tour. Tim Finchem and co. have invested a ton of money into a course overhaul at Avenel, and they certainly didn't have to do it for the members.
For those of you not familiar with Avenel, it's located about a mile down the road from Congressional, the current host of the AT&T. The decision to move there would have been logical, but obviously, the course didn't impress Tiger's camp.
Most of the players complained about Avenel's layout, but I have heard the changes made should diminish most of those concerns. What is the future of the course?
