Don't care who wins it - just a fckng awesome golf course. where else do u hit over the accommodation, the course is actually shortish, not trees and most of the rough you can hit out of but it still fcks with the heads of the pros. Dual greens, bunkers that are just holes in the ground. Madness.
If u want to play it - u go in a lottery every 2 years and hopefully win a tee time. Up to you then to get there on that day and play. Note the setup u see is all artificial, the course is played in reverse off different tees (the old course, the new course is straight up). Mate and I bucket list this all the time - except mate is strapped for $$$ at the moment (told him 6 kids to 3 women wasn't a good idea) - hopefully one day.
Smith's weakness is his tee game. His strength is short game and putting. he has a real show at this.
