Good to see they are taking the redesign seriously....part of their 2030 plan....surprised the Hanse team took this gig....seems as stuck in the mud as my home club.  Can't help but wonder what OCCM may have suggested to them...

Turned on the TV and the golf from Royal Sydney came on the screen. First shot I saw was played from 40-50 yds short of a green. The player flighted it such that the ball never got higher than 2-3 ft off the ground, bounced a bunch of times along the fairway and trickled up to about 8 ft from the hole. Lovely stuff.

OT: I do like the Aussie approach to broadcasting.  Just the swing, little if any "this happened earlier."  While they have focused on a select few groups, U.S. broadcasters could learn a few things.
