Tom Watson, 60 or almost 60, lead on champions tour again

Gary Player, 74, shots his age today (probably going to do this 10 times this year).... I mean, that is phenomenal

Do you think this can also apply to golf course designers?   I do.

Humility during the aging process is the key...if you stubbornly stick with ineffective principles/equipment that used to work in yesteryear's climate, you're bound to age ungracefully and unsuccessfully.  Understand that this is not to be confused with "sell out at whatever cost" nor "grab the flavor of the day and exploit it while selling out."
