And we need to watch it and be very careful.

Green speeds.

Our target green speeds that we intend to play is mostly in the mid-10s throughout the day.

Again, our goal was 11.5 to 12, but that's come down.

We know that hurt for him to say, but good move.

And then I think the other couple things that we've done.

we've actually modified our setup plan.

We have really taken the wind direction into account and where we can position those whole locations in places that will account for the wind, but it will also give us our best chance that we can just play in those types of winds.

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.
