    I have no idea why with the PGA tour slumping they do not bring a regular tourney to this place. There has been a senior tour event at Greystone for years which is always the largest turnout for any senior event of the season. A regular PGA stop at Ross Bridge would be a huge bump for the tour. The PGA has like 3 stops in Georgia and god only knows how many in Florida. This is one of the 4 or 5 hardest courses in the world and would be a tremendous tournament. Bring a regular stop to this place in Alabama.

    If you get the chance to come back and play the rest of the trail, you have to play Fighting Joe in Florence and the Judge course in Montgomery. Both feature par 5 over 710 yards from the tips. Intimidating holes, especially Fighting Joe’s 716 yard par 5
