The announcement from the R&A that the Old Course was being strengthened to adapt to the elite players will presumably mean it will also be more difficult for the normal punter.
It is proposed to bring some of bunkers into the line of play and closer to the green, which will inevitably mean more off-line approach shots will end up in deep bunkers.
So intead of maybe a neat little chip, the visitors will descend into the bunker, make their perusal, make their stroke, maybe repeat the stroke, maybe a stroke away from the green, rake the bunker and eventually carry on.
At least the Marshals will be kept busy.
