[edit] Apostrophes
Moving to Presidents Cup, without an apostrophe, which is the official name. Wincoote 09:41, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Well, i venture that the official name is wrong. The omition of an apostrophe makes me feel icky!
- I agree, but the mis-spelling of omission has a similar effect on me! Kevin McE 12:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

- Just to clear it all up....It's not a cup that has been possessed by the presidents or one of the presidents, so it's not the possessive form as in "Presidents' Cup" nor even "President's Cup". Rather, it's a cup for all the presidents. Think of it like a similar construction regarding a certain sailing trophy, The Americas Cup --- it's a cup for the Americas (all three of them, mind you) and is certainly not a Cup possessed by the Americas nor one of the Americas nor even 'America' (wherever that is). It's also like saying The Soldiers Memorial (which would be a memorial for soldiers) and is not like saying The Soldiers's Memorial (which would be a memorial possessed by all the soldiers) nor The Soldier's Memorial (which would be a memorial possessed by one specific soldier).
[edit] Locations
I've noted where Robert Trent Jones GC is to my satisfaction, but since I am not from Canada, Australia, or South Africa, I do not know what is the typical way of referring to those facilities are. I invite a native of one of those countries to make those designations as accurate as possible.
