But what's a good golf experience?
What does that mean to somebody?
Ultimately, actually, a good golf experience is just playing with nice people and having a good social time.
But if we're trying to find the best golfers, then there's certain tests that need to be faced.
They need to be presented and then the golfers need to try and do them.
So how does that play out in the setup of a golf course?
And we've seen, we can now see how that plays out from an agronomy point of view, we can see that out in length point of view, and then we can see that in a scoring point of view.
Was the 2022 Open better than the 2015, better than 2000, better than 1964, or Jack's win?
There's so many factors that go into that.
It's very hard to say, well, that was the best.
But certainly people have are saying, well, actually, if we're trying to align the winning score with par, with length, actually you go back to the 1920s, 1930s.
where everything kind of aligned before everything took off again.
Now we're well below par.
So it's a great debate.
I'm not sure there's a clear answer.
Yeah, it's a tricky one.
I think as I was saying earlier, if it's your first time, I mean, just relax.
You know, know that every famous golfer who's ever walked the planet has played on this course with one exception.
Anybody know?
Who was that?
