I would also agree that Nationals isn't played at the right time of year.
I've seen too many finals played in horrific conditions. When a game
descends into a game against the elements, it's gone too far. We should do
what we can to lessen that risk. 

Roger said the Open doesn't have much of a portfolio. I'd agree, but that's
only because it has been a struggling event, with problems locating a
suitable venue. Given time, I would expect this to become a respected event.
