Yeah pretty much. I wouldn't want them to stop going to previous sites but am glad they are mixing in new venues. Not every year needs to be at a super exclusive country club in the Northeast. Looking at the list I thought they were going back to Bethpage Black but maybe that's the PGA instead (and Ryder Cup).
Of course the primary motivation for adding in Torrey / Bethpage / Chambers Bay / Erin Hills is to play at courses the public can access, which is logical and smart.
At least some percentage of whining about new sites is people who don't like change, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, in its current form Oakmont looks a lot like a slightly less hilly Erin Hills and you don't hear bitching about going back there.
