I attended one day of last year's tournament in Bedminster NJ. I went mainly because of proximity and curiosity, but enjoyed it. The setup was actually pretty nice for keeping my kids engaged and interested. The players were accessible, due in part to the fact that the crowds were nowhere near...
It depends on the depth of the allegiance and who did the moving. I grew up a Yankees fan. When I moved to Boston, it would never have occurred to me in a million years to convert to a sox fan. That would be blasphemy. I saw more baseball games in Fenway than in all other MLB stadiums...

I expect (need) a lot out of that slot. It needs to be a reliable safety club off the tee, confidently handle longer shots from the fairway, and serve as an adequate trouble club. Moreover, that has always been my no-fail slot: the club that I can get acceptable results with even on my...
