And, you know, it feels like St.

It feels like you're at a historic place, especially that clubhouse and the mood that sense at the top of the hill like that.

Wow.
Yeah.
Well, you could make, I think you made a good argument and that's very possibly true that it is the greatest.
I think it's very much in the top three or four of the greatest tests for championship golf.
Now, if you get it that way for everyday play or,
even every week play on PGA Tour, it might be a little much.
I mean, it's a fine line.
You can go over the line.
They've gone over the line at Shinnecock, at least by their own admission.
They're sort of backing off on going to the edge so much in terms of, I don't know about the whole positions, but certainly the firmness and the fairway width and the rough.
They want Shinnecock to be quote-unquote Shinnecock.

I think you're absolutely right.
It's the natural environment at Shinnecock that's the greatest challenge.
But then when you start tweaking the setup, you know, you can make it even better as far as really, really testing these guys in a way that brings out inspired championship play.
But you can also go over the line and make it, you know, sort of random and you don't want to do that either.
