I’m posting this in the Houston forum because we’d better be paying attention and not make the same mistakes with the Houston Open moving to Memorial Park Golf Course in October 2020. I sure hope the organizers of the Houston Open are paying attention!

This is disappointing for Dallas. This golf tournament was moved out of the suburbs to South Dallas with the hopes of stirring up some good publicity and economic development in that area. By the looks of it the tournament was not supported in the new location. I know the article is blaming weather, lack of shade, lack of parking, etc. but frankly the DFW golf tournaments have always been plagued by bad weather (The Colonial in Fort Worth and the Byron Nelson in Las Colinas). Now the tournament is moving back to Las Colinas and then likely will end up in Frisco.

Houston, pay attention!

Clip from The Dallas Morning News:

After two years of weather setbacks, disappointing attendance and declining financial results, the PGA Tour has decided that the 2020 AT&T Byron Nelson in May will be the last one held at Trinity Forest Golf Club.
The Tour’s decision to pull the plug on Trinity Forest, which is just south of downtown Dallas, will end an innovative initiative by the Florida-based professional golfers’ touring organization, the Salesmanship Club of Dallas and the private golf club to use the Tour’s annual event as a magnet for economic development in the southern sector.
