The first time I ever covered a PGA Tour event at the Quail Hollow Club, I remarked to a colleague just how impressive it was in person, from course to clubhouse and everything in between.
“If Clifford Roberts and Bobby Jones had looked a few hours further north,” he replied, “this could've turned into what Augusta National has become.”
I'll save us from the honesty vs. hyperbole debate here and simply stick with this focus: While Quail Hollow might not be it's still pretty damn special.
That first journey covering the Wells Fargo Championship was a long time ago and maybe there's some nostalgic reason I woke up thinking about older versions of this event. Specifically, the 2010 edition was front of mind – and while we're on the subject of professional golf receiving the Netflix treatment, that one could use its own series.
