DORAL, Fla. -- Ask those of a certain age what this area was like when the Doral Golf Resort opened in 1962 and you get some variation on the word "nothing.''
In the 1960s, the part of greater Miami where Trump National Doral sits might as well have been in the Gulf of Mexico. It was so far west of the city that it was considered "remote.''
Now, it's an incorporated city, with a population of 50,000 plus, myriad businesses and the corresponding traffic nightmares.
And it is in danger of losing its long-time golf tournament, one that is now in its 54th year on the PGA Tour, the second-longest-running tournament behind the event at Colonial Country Club.
