I watched it last night. A couple of JN's comments:
- Oakmont has the fastest greens anyone had ever seen in '62. They blew people's minds. He thought they stimped at 7 or 7.5.
- Fairways today are cut at levels that greens were cut to in the 60's. JN sounded like he wanted to go to higher fairway cuts.
- Loves ANGC for its wide landing areas contrasting with greens that require entry from specific angles. (He made a confusing reference to Ross as the designer and then mentioned Jones and MacK.)
- Wants bunkers to be left unraked. Praised Oakmont's furrowed bunkers.
- Thinks all his designs are joint efforts and does not believe design attributions accurately reflect th team work involved.
- Difference in his courses over the years are largely the result of the the different teams that worked on them.
- The ball, not equipment, is the cause of the distance problem.
- People can now hit the ball so straight and so long that narrowing of landing areas now makes sense.
Maybe others will recall other things he said.
