Am I the only one who enjoys watching Olympic on TV?
I also enjoyed it the one time I played it nearly 30 years ago.
I know Olympic has had its(Open Dr.) renovation issues, but it comes across far better than the homogenous week in week out images we get from the PGA Tour.
I'm sure it can and will get better in the future.
I'm also enjoying seeing less of the overdone "chipping areas' we see so much of these days.
Contrary to popular belief, there is skill identification in judging and playing shots from greenside rough, rather than watching endless putters or hybrids(no problem with variety, I just feel the pendulum has swung too far)
Nostalgia perhaps.
As someone who has been critical of many USGA setups, it's nice to see them playing on grass that isn't on the edge of death, and the balls not wobbling plinkolike on the greens.
Certainly the TV experience is far better than watching MV, which always screams "sterile,"fair", monochromatic color,modern look(as in 1970's) and agronomy "advances" at me.
