Media Interviews given by The R&A Chief Executive

[Frank Pont]

A journalist friend just emailed me this, it was posted on the R&A members website.
Anybody know what the "extensive range of topical subjects" are that have been discussed in the interviews?

"Over the past two days, Peter Dawson has conducted interviews with BBC Radio and the UK Press. The interviews addressed an extensive range of topical subjects and it is anticipated that there will be wide coverage in tomorrow’s (Wednesday 24 April) newspapers and across BBC outlets, including BBC Radio 5 Live’s golf programme at 9 pm on Wednesday evening"

Frank,

it is about the plan to move the 16th hole 50 yards to the left and shorten the 17th to a 240 yard par 3 so they can extend the driving range. This alteration will give St. Andrews one of the best practice facilities to be found in Fife. By significantly improving the overall package on offer it is hoped to attract even more golfers to the area with players coming from as far as a field as Edinburgh to enjoy hitting class a range balls, each inscribed with the St. Andrews logo and two go faster stripes.

Don't forget, you heard it here first
