Oakmont in Pittsburgh is also a National treasure. But it ain’t Pebble Beach.

When we went in 2009 there was nobody there hardly. Perfect weather but it was in the middle of the recession. We had a room on the 18th fairway but the moved us at no charge to the Crosby suite behind the 18th green.
My buddies wife had a niece that worked there and we had employee rates...but they'd never seen it that slow there ever!
Those recession are bad news for the party in power, too late to ask McCain but all the GOP on the down ballot got slaughteredtoo....lets all hope this China virus passes.
