Our tournament matters; yours doesn't
The PGA Tour is going through some ground-shifting changes, and as was reported here by our Robert Bell late last week, Greensboro took the necessary steps to keep it from being left out in the cold. The Forest Oaks tournament's move to August in 2007 puts it in a coveted spot in the FedEx Cup schedule.
That's left other cities to be bitter about having tournament dates in the fall, when golf just won't matter as much. Take Tony Kornheiser's comical take in the Washington Post on the plight of Avenel, near D.C.:
Now we'll come after everything. We're so late in the season, they'll have already played all four majors, the tour championship -- and the Outback Bowl! Akron has a better date than us. Hartford has a better date than us.
Apparently, Greensboro doesn't bother him.
