I was reading this article on espn.com -
http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/britishopen06/news/story?id=2522670I am really looking forward to watching the British Open. It is rare we can watch such golf on TV with firm and fast conditions where "shot making and creativity back in the game."
Here is part of the article
...No, Woods hasn't lost confidence with the big stick. Given the firm condition of the fairways and the locations of out-of-bounds, deep bunkers and tall grass, it makes more sense to sacrifice length for position. Besides, the ball is running so far, he's even replacing his 5-wood with a 2-iron, a club he hasn't carried since the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan late last year. "I'm trying to take advantage of the fast fairways and roll the ball out there," he said Tuesday.
If hot temperatures continue -- they reached nearly 90 degrees -- expect to see dust fly. Not that Woods or other contenders are complaining.
"The golf course is definitely fast," said Woods, a two-time winner and the defending champion. "It's hard. It's a little bit slower the last couple of days because obviously they're putting some water on it, trying to keep it alive. But overall it's going to be a fantastic challenge this week to play a golf course this fast. We don't get a chance to do this very often, but when we do, it sure brings back shot making and creativity back in the game."
