Major Championships are, for the most part, contested on some of the most honored and venerated golf courses in the world, and are often included in the “Top 100 Course” lists.
Most, if not all, have hosted other significant championships and have stood the test of time.
But can the average Joe or Jane golfer play them, and if so, how much do they cost?
The answer is probably no. At least not unless you have a friend or family who is a member at one the private clubs who have conducted championships, or you have lots of disposable income to burn on travel, lodging and green fees.
One of the perks of being media covering the Majors is we get to play the course on Mondays, with the course setup the way the pros played it on Sunday at no charge.
Sometimes that hasn’t been such fun.
Can you say Chambers Bay or Shinnecock Hills?
