Re: Actual Golf: The British Open

I'm not sure why they cut the roughs down so much. That used to be a death wish getting in there, now its a minor inconvenience. Because the rough is cut down so much the fairway bunkers aren't even really in play anymore because they can just aim around them and catch the rough instead with a miss.

It's really just a putting contest the last few days. Don't get me wrong, it still takes a ton of skill to put the approach shots where they need to be, but Driving on this course is virtually childs play for these pros. So the course isn't testing their entire game, just approaches and putting. A major should challenge every facet of the game.
