Forest Oaks Ain't Broke
"Forest Oaks 'ain't broke'
There have been recent newspaper articles about moving the Wyndham Golf Tournament in future years to Sedgefield Country Club. Why?
The national PGA golf tournament has been held at Forest Oaks Country Club since 1977 and is proudly supported by a large majority of its members. The Greensboro Jaycees and the tournament's many sponsors are to be commended for their leadership for this national event. The golf course, at PGA request, has been redesigned twice at great expense.
Forest Oaks has many advantages over Sedgefield, including location, parking, traffic flow and cost. Forest Oaks has a long-term contract that should be honored.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
