I've rambled a bit before about how I have missed the old 60-70's linksy feel of the course in its day....before cart paths and irrigated roughs etc...and how I did not enjoy many of the changes of the past 30+ years.
...but watching play today I must say I am enjoying many of the most recent course evolutions....the course is definitely not the old, but definitely a better new.
The scores are of interest and no one will win by a 15 shot margin...IMO.
The course looks much better than in the past.
(although I'd still reverse #9 through #13...that ain't gonna go away)
