Bill,That's because the locals had being playing on mats all winter (since about November 2006) and the week of the Reverse course opening (when you got there) is about when the mats are removed from use.My point to Tony is that in 2010 the Links Trust, in partnership with the R&A, may decide that mats must be used through to when the course closes in preparation for the Open Championship. I advise that he, and anyone else hoping to play TOC in 2010, do some research to avoid a disappointing experience on the worlds greatest course (IMHO).
