Gene Sarazen criticizes the U S G A for rotating the Open on uneven courses and suggests six permanent venues. He proposes selecting from Los Angeles Country Club, San Francisco CC, Interlochen, Olympic Fields, Brookline, Fresh Meadows, Garden City, Merion, Augusta, Pinehurst No 2, and Oakmont to host majors and Ryder Cup in rotation. He argues this would give courses time to prepare and improve.
