Good thinking outside the box- hard to do for the tour.
Agree they’re making the best of it. The slower greens opening up more pinnable locations and moving the tees more than usual could be interesting. I’m a bit confused by them cutting the rough down the first week then having longer rough the secondly week. How much can it grow in 4 days?
