Lancaster Country Club has landed a deal that no other venue in the country can boast. The USGA has confirmed the Pennsylvania club will stage five elite women's championships - a commitment that frankly puts most other golfing bodies to shame.
The lineup includes the 2028 U.S. Girls' Junior and stretches all the way to the 2044 U.S. Women's Open. In between, the club will also welcome the U.S. Women's Amateur.
No other club has been handed this kind of quintet. It is a provocative move by the USGA - one that dares the rest of golf to match its backing of the women's game.
Club president Lauren Stadel has spoken of creating a platform for female golfers at every level. Fine words, but the scheduling proves there is genuine substance behind them.
Designed by William Flynn in 1920, Lancaster Country Club first hosted a national championship in 2015. It is now cemented in the USGA's rotation - and the organisation clearly sees it as a flagship for women's golf.
Whether this shames other clubs into following suit remains to be seen. It should.
