The last thing that we'll do, and I want to talk about this just briefly, is we will syringe the greens on Thursday and Friday.

Just wait, Randy.

And just to be very clear what syringing is, it involves a very light application of water to hydrate the grass leaf blade to prevent wilt, most importantly, to preserve turf health, and to reduce stress on these poinna greens.

And poinna reacts differently and quit more quickly than most other grasses in these types of conditions.

So we think syringing is very important.

But again, syringing on both Thursday and Friday, and we've communicated this to the players, is really important.

We believe that it will present a more consistent playing presentation to both the morning and afternoon waves both days.

It'll be consistent across both days, which we think enhances competitive fairness.

This is also a practice that is used on a regular basis right here at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

In fact, if you ask the club, they'll tell you they do it daily.

It is just the nature of this club and the nature of this property to preserve turf health and so on.

In fact, I think in his, I didn't see it directly, but Rory mentioned this in his familiarity of this the other day.

Think about it as

When you go into the grocery store and you go into the produce department and you reach for that head of lettuce and that little mist comes on above and hits your hand, that's all we're doing to the putting greens.

It doesn't impact playability, it hydrates the leaf blade, and when it evaporates, it keeps it cool enough so we don't lose the friction on the putting greens.

Johnny, that's better than most.

How about him?

That is better than most.

Leaf blade hydration.

This place just dries down like nowhere else I've ever experienced.
