help it get moving is positive as well. i'd like to spend a second before i bring ed up to talk about for a second the match play champing. we think that having played the president cup at harding and 9 and being existed about it cob in 2025 it sets up for a match play that was a factor in deciding to bring it. but also you may not be aware we're bringing it forward with a new format historically we have the top 64 players 2 against 63 they play on wednesday and we're down to 32 players and on thursday we're going to do it differently t next year it's going to be a world-class play
11:31 am
cup everyone in the united states being riverside to that formulate in brazil where we'll be playing golf in the olympics nor the be first time in six the players will be broken down into groups of 4, 16 groups of 4 and then on wednesday and thursday and friday they'll play each and cut to the top 16 players out of that play to play the 16, 8, 4 and 2 on the weekend why did it important. first of all, it's a lot more golf 96 matches on wednesday thursday and friday it's a ton of golf and one of the reasons we wanted to come here we know the fans will replenish relish the opportunity and the best
11:32 am
players will rise to the top and third i think if you're a steve stricter barbara watson or tiger woods you'll follow your favorite player to get sgo the round of 16 one that will create a a lot more enthusiastically and excitement so we're going in a new direction in san francisco and i want to comment that starting about sandy in all those years the relationship with the city and the mayors that perverted our mayor and this mayor that did this arrangement it worked well, with the partnerships so, now as i bring up ted bishop ted became the president of the pga a year
11:33 am
and a half ago in my view he's a great visionary with the game of golf he likes to do things differently and take everything so a new level and the decision to come to the west coast and harding golf and playing at another golf co-sponsors is a new direction ted congratulations for that and your partnership and we wish you well, as we work together in the next 15 years together. ted bishop (clapping.) well, you know today is certainly a very monumental day in the history of pga in america and certainly in the golf community in san francisco i'm here to announce it the pga champing will come through harding park in 2020 and will mark the first time in the one
11:34 am
hundred and 2 year history of the pga championing that will be played in the great city of san francisco this would not be possible - thank you (clapping) this certainly would not be possible without the great collaboration with the city and county of san francisco the pga tour and the pga of america and mayor ed lee and thanks to you and phil givens berg and tim this seems like another step in a lot of the things we've been able to accomplish working together in the past 20 months and look forward to a great future for the pga of america and iceland be remissed if i didn't say thank you to our chief officers
11:35 am
(clapping) at the pga of america quite honestly we got this deal done fast and it was certainly not without they're great efforts but i think the thing that's important for everyone to understand the pga officers and the pga board of directors have been committed to trying to find a site for west coast pga champing for basically, the passing past year we couldn't be more proud of the fact it is going to take place at the harding knowing park. we know the friends the northern california pga sections are going to be great hosts you've done f this before we we look forward to you guys doug doing a fantastic job. the u.n. the 2020 pga champing is going to help us showcase the strongest field in prime time
11:36 am
television that's one of the factors it cause us to come to the west coast and gives the pga of america the flexibility in an olympic year to moving our champing to another point in the golf calendar assuming we can work this on the one hand without the pga schedule. we view this partnership with the city and county of san francisco as one that is going to be very important to us in the decades of the future i want to see that this is the only venue in san francisco that the pga of america had my interest in bringing a major champing to this is the only venue we'll have discussions with we couldn't be prouder mayor ed lee and ted the reasons are simple it wasn't hard to get fired up
11:37 am
bugs i love history and diving into the history of harding park and seeing what this place is to golf i think it totally unisolated i was contacted by two champions i want to quote them first of all, tiger woods great memories of marreding park and it's great to see this played significant renovation were made to the course and it's exciting this is the first pga champing in san francisco also from phil harding park was an excellent host for the president cup and now can host the major champing i'm excited to have one of the golfs biggest events. i thought this announcement is
11:38 am
really special because it means that the pga champing is going to be played in back to back years in 2019 and 20 at the two the municipal golf course in new york and in 2019 and obviously in harding park in 2020 on the west coast i thank pga of america to play the champing added municipal golf course makes a profound statement that's one that is important because putting golf is a primary entrance and 80 percent of the rounds are played on public golf course and as a packing professional that spent the last 43 summers as me as wanting to be part of the announcements is a special thing to me personally you know, harding park in a lot
11:39 am
of ways is truly the essence of public golf it has holstered mia many champing but no more than the champing that was played between harvey ward nonresponsive tens of thousands of spectacles and ken father was the head professional player here and today ken holds the golf record he had the dpigs distinction of the holes at harding park i've played with john and have a debating feat it i can't imagine but there's other people that harding park is special i was cracked by johnny miller he said you you know, i have so many fond
11:40 am
memories of harding park and the putting green is where i became a great putting eerie got into putting games and really felt lying it made me the putter i became when i went on the tour as a kid i loved going to harding park you'll see ken and bob and george archer it became a great place to hang out i owe hi. my development as a player to harding park it's a profound statement and tom watson played many round when he was a is the at stanford university and we have a city champion and one of the needed it things in the 4 byron nelson back the only player to win two events on the same course in the same year
11:41 am
when he won the victory open in san francisco. like so many other public golf course in community all over this in addition the atmosphere here is absolutely magnetic for generations of golf percent are the last thing i want to say it's a special day for one man in the room. next week sandy tatum will turn 94 years old without his tenacity and we know that hardingably park would not will exist exist it was used in a tournament as a parking lot i thought dan said it p there was a time in the history of the golf course we hoped would be used for the champing when you see the evolution and where hardingably park is today not
11:42 am
that long ago mr. tat up a great effort to you and the city of san francisco thank you (clapping) i don't think i can say it better than tom watson in a conversation about over the weekend. without sandy's character and the respect he commands in the game of golf in san francisco pga harding park and the team physician wouldn't have been possible he was catalyst in the success it's unbelievable (clapping) so sandy maybe in some way this is an early birthday present for july 7th you've got our major champing in the city of san

11:52 am
legislation that was introduced i think a week ago by supervisor breed regarding changes to the police and planning code on medicare announcement devices and arcades you'll call the gold watch that may have come before you needed a change to allow them to have the number of machines as well as other places in the market to supervisor breed and there might be some co-sponsors putting forth the legislation changing the zoning for the arcades in the locations but to more than news the section of the code we use pretty much machineal things most people think it's a weird name we're talking about games it take coins to operate so
11:53 am
there was a lot of language in there that hark end back to the days when kids played hookie in video arcades and the supervisors office is to bring this legislation to current standards, if you will, and then what this will do it unregulates things we've overregulating in their view so, anyway it's going before i'm not sure which committee do we know yet maybe land use because it's changing a planning code but in my event it will impact it commission i'll bring i up to date the numbers open the digest will give you the legislation so it's 18 pages
11:54 am
