Presumably these things are scheduled several years in advance, giving the PGA plenty of time to look into such obvious details and to ensure that the participating country clubs dot all the i's. I'd imagine these events mean BIG bucks to the local country club; this gives the PGA a good deal of leverage when it comes to arranging the events in advance. Why then is the PGA unable to look ahead, particularly since it does have at least some influential black members of its own? -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047
