now that Phil has struck a blow for old farts everywhere what do you think of the PGA allowing the course to dry up as bad as it did. I know the reasoning behind it somewhat but the old superintendent in me wants to have the course in immaculate condition all 4 days and trick it up by moving the tees and making the pins more difficult, or even allowing the rough to grow more than ususal. I've never been a fan of making the course like a pool table
