So Where Exactly Is Whistling Straits?

There is no question that this is an year's P.G.A. Championship is located at Whistling Straits. But Where Whistling Straits is located is a more Complicated Matter. 

Peer over the shoulders of Reporters here in the golf course's media center and you will see a Variety of date lines. Some news organizations that like The Associated Press and The Chicago Tribune, go with Sheboygan, WIS. Others, Including USA Today and The Boston Globe, use Kohler, WIS. A few more; like The Daily News and The New York Times, use Haven, WIS. 

So Where are we, exactly? 

It depends whom you ask. ITS has all materials, from the ITS Web site to the ID cards it issues Thurs Reporters and staff members, the PGA declares That Whistling Straits in Kohler is. Kohler County, wakes owns the place, says so, too. 

In reality, however, the village of Kohler (1.942 population, plus one famous plumbing company) is eight miles south of here. 

A spokesman for Kohler, Todd Weber, Said That for simplicity's sake, the company felt comfortable Liberties-taking some creative "when describing it Came Thurs Where Whistling Straits is located, since all, investigation of its properties are mutch resort in Kohler Itself. 

"It Is not Necessarily a marketing strategy, per se," he said. (Still, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel tracked down a marketing professor Ken vouched for the wisdom behind Kohler's Geographic subterfuge, Whether or Not intentional.) 

But Even If you rule out Kohler, it is Still Not easy to PinPoint Where The PGA Being Championship is held. Though the course has ITS mailing address in Sheboygan, a city of 47.852 east of Kohler, Actually it falls within the limits of a town called the Mosel (population 800), According to Weber, as well as Brett Zemba, the Geographic Information Systems specialist in the Planning Department for Sheboygan County. 

But it gets more Complicated. Located within the Mosel and right by the entrance to the Whistling Straits course is an unincorporated community called the Haven (home Thurs Haven Bar and Grill, the only Watering hole within miles of here). But Haven Formal has no boundaries, Zemba Said, so Whistling Straits Neither is it within nor outside it. 

In case for months, while Weber Said That Kohler does advertise the golf course's location in the Mosel, it surely has nothing against the town. The fact is that the company has a plant there That manufactures electrical Generators, and it advertises Happily URL. 

"When people ask Where your generator plant is," He Said, 'we say it's in Mosel, Wisconsin. "
