Quality viewing @TheOpen . The unpredictability of The Old Course from bounces to weather is unlike anything in golf. Can’t turn it off. Thinking pace of play might have improved with a shotgun start? What you guys think?

"That ball is off the property!" <ball finishes in fairway> The only real "option" really wide fairways provide is the option to hit it way offline and still be in the fairway. Wide fairways are not a great test of driver skill. They also cost A LOT more money to maintain.
