and then into club head, club head size, the face of the thing.
So they all work together.
People debate about, is it the ball, is it the face?
It's everything together.
But from the old course point of view, you can see for the first time.
So that's why it's really important to understand that golf course design never leads the way.
It's always been a response, and it remains a response today.
Yeah, so that's its importance.
It's our only touchstone to be able to prove in a linear way that, as this has been an open venue right through all those changes, and other venues weren't, some have come and gone, whether it's Presswick or whether it was Musselburgh, which were early venues,
This is the only venue which has stayed relevant through all those periods.
And we can look at data.
We can say, well, in 1895, the old course was 6,323, from memory, yards long.
And we go that to the last Open Championship in 22, and it was 7,313.
So there's almost exactly 1,000 yards different between 130 years.
And what's happened to scoring in that time?
Well, in 1895, from memory, the score was, I think, 312.
And when Cam Smith won, it was 268, an all-time low.
So we've had 54 strokes less and 1,000 yards more
You know, what do you think about that, right?
It's crazy.
