Elite Clubs Hosting Majors

Chris Baldwin at Travelgolf asks if elite golf clubs should be rewarded with majors. He uses 2006 U.S. Women's Open site Newport Country Club as his prime example.

While I sympathize with Baldwin's point, I also can't wait to see Newport.

If there were more quality public venues available for majors it might be a different story. But ultimately, we want to see the best courses. Don't we?

Did you see today that the Open Doctor is coming to visit Cog Hill in Chicagoland? The article was written in the Chgo Sun Times.
That is a public course doing whatever it can to be awarded a major.
