I voted for different venue every year. Though how about Florida. Home of the LPGA, Golf Hall of Fame and currently without one LPGA tournament. Of course, June might not be the best time to hold it there!

.
I did not vote for any of those.... as I have no idea. I mean like what are the criteria to set up a Major versa a regular event? Is there a big cost difference as well?

Anna would probably say Sweden.

I don't know about that... Iceland might be a bit cool... Afghanistan the security would be to high.... Saudi Arabia too tough on the tan, the the girsl may all have to ware face cover for several reasons. I know.... no players from there yet on the LPGA.... but there could be with rookies.... and you know what rookies are doing this year.

Somewhere in California would be nice. How about the Half Moon Bay Golf Links where
they had the Samsung tourney last year?

How about in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in Greentea's backyard!

Although the players love Kingsmill a verdict has not come back yet that we won't continue that event with another sponsor..were keeping our fingers crossed we will be back at kingsmill for the regular event. They've looked at a number of venues for The Championship but nothing for sure because they are so bogged down with renewals (no comment). I think they should continue to move it and give other communities a chance to experience the event.
