Yeah, it was really eye-opening.
And I just started looking at some of the comparisons on the shot length numbers.
And, uh, it, it, it, you know, the one thing with the women hitting it shorter, the eighth hole, which is all screwed up anyway, but it written almost nobody went left.
I think 15 times on the alternate fairway, uh, because the T was, is in the wrong spot anyway, but then it's also was a little far back.
So that was one hole where the, the lack of distance didn't, didn't make things pop, but overall it just, it, it really, I'm, I'm really at the point now I'm going to reflect on a little bit more, but I, I,
And, you know, I use the reference juiced equipment era, but more and more you just after seeing something like that, you just you start to say, well, I mean, we are in our equivalent of the steroid era.
The records really we should start questioning whether some of these things should count because the the advantage the men get from.
from the modern equipment and what they're doing and what it means.
It really is pitiful at this point.
It's so less interesting to watch and the fact that we're still having this discussion trying to explain to people that you're losing shot making and variety of playing styles and all that stuff.
It's incredible that we have this group of
players who are holding on to this for for uh one reason and and coming up with this this crap about tree removal and uh it's pitiful it's just and by the way just on that note the women i never heard poa mentioned once they didn't whine about anything now the golf course is immaculate
And the fringes, they've done beautiful work.
So, I mean, you saw Say Young and yesterday Nelly, because they were missing a lot of greens early, hit these shots that landed right on the edge of the collar that in the old days would have just stopped.
And they got, you know, to three feet and got up and down.
So the maintenance is amazing.
And better in June, no question.
But it's not like it's bad in February now.
uh yeah i mean her explanation afterward was was more of a mystery but i when i saw the uh because i was over to the side when i saw the replay i went no she ain't she pulled that a little bit that looked like a pull um oh it would have been painful um i mean it would have been a playoff but and her attitude was so good that i actually think she would have uh
