It's like, well, you know, the equipment's changed quite a bit, you know.
It has, but this idea that length will solve everything
you know, say it's going to defend par, par's a hypothetical number, so it's a rather tenuous conversation, but we can now track that 1,000 yards longer over 130 years has not at all slowed down scoring.
It's, you know, because, and you can say why, there's lots of reasons why, but, you know, it's multifactorial about how we get, but that's the value of the old course is that the guys, and I think we've got now the RNA and the USGA guys
really great custodians who are very serious about the impact of the ball on playing experience because what's happened in 100 years is the game's got slower, more expensive, and has it got more fun?
Debatable?
Debatable.
Depends on who you ask.
Yeah, it depends.
So as the courses get longer, and this is my day job, really.
So as the golf courses get longer, because the ball and clubs are going further, a new developer's question might be, how much land do I need to buy?
Well, it's more than 10 years ago or 20 years or 50 years ago, right?
So we need to buy more land.
The golf course needs to be longer.
It needs to be wider because of ball sort of safety issues and ball strike incidents.
And then it's obviously, they haven't got to be maintained.
So there's a lot, it's more expensive to buy.
It's more expensive to build.
It's more expensive to maintain.
So those costs are all passed on and who are they passed on to?
