Steve:
There are other places they could go back on Old Macdonald, too, but I doubt they are looking for more than 7,200 yards for the Public Links Championship.
I thought the format was extremely interesting ... both the men and the women will play one qualifying round on each course. Then, they'll play the first round of matches on Old Macdonald; the second round at Bandon Trails; and the third and subsequent rounds at Old Macdonald. It's an interesting way of finding a champion who can survive both courses, which place very different demands on the golfer. I don't know who came up with that idea, but it was someone at the USGA, not someone at the resort.
