    Possibly because the USGA has been headquartered in Far Hills, N.J., since 1972.

    Cost of living will be high.

    Very, very high if you want to live in the immediate (15-20 minutes) Far Hills area.
     
  9. What are the closest "affordable" areas, do you think? New Brunswick? Pennsylvania?
