How about the slopes on those greens, matched with slow speeds.
Amazing you never hear Palmer, Nicklaus or anyone there in that era talk about how much the slopes have been softened and the speeds increased.
They're still very severe, but more tiered and you'd never see a pin like the on on 5 in 1960

May explain why Palmer didn't win a major post 1964

and I don't remember ever watching tournament highlights and seeing so many missed 1 and 2 footers. How about Hogan playing out of the creek on 12. It looked like the creek was about 3 inches deep all the way across.

It will look rather ungroomed to the more modern eye. An the "patrons" were a bunch of litterbugs.

I have a permanent DVR set up for all Masters/US Open/Open/PGA highlight films as well as any Shell's Wonderful World of Golf matches shown on the Golf Channel. It's amazing how much fun stuff they replay on there during the middle of the day.

I'm watching the rerun on DVR now. This is some amazing stuff. 1) the bunkers looked amazing and much more natural ( especially in front of the 2nd green) and 2) I love the shots of the caddies laying down on the green as the players putt in the first round!
