I now get it why this course was so engaging both ways.

Probably not.

Maybe I haven't thought about it.

That's a really good question.

Leave it with me.

Nothing jumps off my bat.

I think they're pretty logical because they've been adjusted so much through time.

I think when I look back at this continued expansion width-wise,

What does become clear is that the central, the old course, really its identity is around the central hazards more than the peripheral.

And of course, as the course got wider, decisions were made to try and punish

offline shots, so hot bunkers were added down the sides of the golf course.

But I keep reminding myself that actually this course was very narrow and the hazards, the most important hazards, are still the central ones.

And we've gone through this interesting change where

Back in those days, the hazards were king, right?

You know, if you could talk about… Done, if you go into, like, Hell Bunker.

Also, as a member of here or Presswick or Royal St.

George's, you know, people would talk about the Cardinal or the Alps or Hell Bunker, and they were proud, you know, how difficult their course was and how many shots it took to escape from these godforsaken places.

Now that's changed.

You know, now people go, oh, my God, have you seen the green over it?

You know.
