4 weeks ago the course was lush and relatively fine.

Greens totally destroyed.

Looks a bit like Jimmy Walkers bag there! If so you got to see a great eagle in the Practice round from Sneds.

Glad you enjoyed. Yes, there was less rain then expected and atleast two or three greens were "lost." I think the USGA expected it to be wetter the week before.

Thank you. You should have heard were saying to each other

It's less glamorous than you think but if I had to the British Open I'll cook up a full TR for you. Thanks again for reading I am glad you enjoyed.
