Ask them who wrote the following, and have them give their reflections on it.
"In a very real sense, The Old Course and perhaps a few other seminal links are the foundation of our collective understanding of golf. To apply OUR modern understanding of golf to The Old Course and find IT flawed, is silly. OUR understanding of golf is always going to be limited. By contrast, The Old Course has stood for hundreds of years, sorting out players hitting featheries to hand-cut holes, down to the most recent Open Championship. It has seen way more than we'll ever see, and it still manages to assert its relevance, as much as we've tried to screw up the game we play over it. If you think you are smarter than The Old Course, you need to think some more."
"[Let's just take a simple example. There are plenty of genius Americans who go to St. Andrews and think it outrageous that a road and the former railway line and the o.b. sheds are all factors in playing the golf course. To them, such features should never be a part of golf. How do we know they're wrong? Only because they have existed in play at St. Andrews for all time. Without that precedent, such features would be eliminated from the game by people who don't understand it.]"
