There are also places right here where "real" golf is played. Southern Hills in Tulsa and Colonial in Ft Worth. Both are short, narrow, and tree lined. Hogan loved both and won the US Open at SH in 1958. At Colonial, there is a larger than life statue of Hogan inside the entrance. That statue is reason enough to go to the Colonial Tournament.

It's interesting that in 2001, they attempted to set up SH so that Woods could win his 5th straight major there. The rough was a joke and they lengthened several holes including stretching the par 5 5th hole to 610 yds and one par 4 to 499 yds. But it was big hitting Retief Goosen who took advantage of it.
