I know there's another thread to this effect, but the formalization of the roughs and fairways I've seen on the most recent aerials of the course are indeed truly regrettable.
The other night Jen and I were watching highlights of previous Open Championships, and she made the comment that she loved how The Old Course looked like nature, with no straight lines and little in the way of definition of man-made features.
She doesn't play much, but she does have exquisite tastes, so I'm going to be e bit embarrassed when she stops in front of the telly over the next few days, particularly if an aerial shot is on the screen.
I'm going to have some 'splaining to do!
