I mean, it's the U.S.
It's tough.
There's tension.
You've got to find something to blame sometimes or you're just annoyed.
But, yeah, it asks for everything.
And I really hope that β and I feel confident, barring something crazy with the weather, that the plan will be much better this time.
And they have learned from their mistakes.
And having worked with them on the setup at L.A., they're β
uh, also great at taking in a lot of, uh, of, of opinions.
And some people don't do that sometimes with set up.
And that's usually when they, they get in trouble when they don't listen to the people who are there every, uh, every day, whether it's the superintendent or the assistant superintendent or the members, um, you can, you can pick up things from everybody.
So hopefully, uh, that's the case this time.
Cause, um, it would, it would be dreadful if, uh,
if they lost control again.
Of course, there's the view that they didn't lose control in 2004, that somebody came in the middle of the night.
We'll just let that one be a permanent mystery in the history of the game, whether that actually happened.
So, yeah, I'm excited, and I don't know what's β I think guys need to go there and learn it and play it, and I think it was smart of Scotty to do that, and Rory obviously has played there a bunch, and a few guys did before the Ryder Cup, but I think Aronamink showed, Rory showed at Augusta, even though he played there so much, that there is value in the practice rounds.
I saw it at RIV last week, and a lot of the men now, they just really don't β
take those practice rounds as seriously.
