after dinner Sunday,we "had a nightcap" at the Southhampton Inn with Phillip Price' caddie, who having just flown in that morning, went directly to the club for a round with Price.
The caddie was astounded that the members ("some" was OK, he said, but not "all") were playing, and alluded that they felt not only had they dodged a few errant shots, they felt their practice session had been negatively affected....
btw, for Monday's practice round the USGA practice of laying large cloth "tarps" over all the par 3s (excepting the last 2 yards) and over areas where there would be frequent divots taken , was very much in evidence. I WONDER IF THE TARPS WERE DOWN FOR THE MEMBERS?
