What Southern Hills needs to do is become a regular stop on the Tour.  In April.

Great idea but from having done a couple of courses... no Bermuda is ready for tournament play that early in Oklahoma and the greens would likely be iffy too.

Please get us a Ryder Cup... October here we come!

Isn't the Ryder Cup the only PGA "major" that could come to SHCC in Tulsa but has not?  I would love to see that one here too, although I understand it is already committed to other courses until about 2018 or 2020.  I am not a golfer or a big fan for that matter, but these types of events are wonderful for Tulsa.

I think the PGA knew exactly what it was doing when they picked SHCC/Tulsa for this year's championship.  Of course August in Tulsa is going to be very hot.  Pro golfers that claim to be "athletes" had a good opportunity to prove it this year at SHCC with the weather conditions and precision play the course demands.  The PGA will be back there some day for sure.
