Hack it out, golf podcast time. Welcome, everybody. Just myself and Lou this week, Greg is

traveling, I think. He's on a plane as we speak. If I sound slightly different, I'm up at the

Scottish Open this week as well, so I'm on the road also, but hopefully the audio is okay.

Interesting question for you today, Lou. Hit me. Lay it on me.

I like this question.

What would the game of golf look like if every course was this design from scratch today?

Oh, wow.

So with modern players, modern technology in mind.

Because obviously what we've got at the minute is an interesting situation in golf, isn't it?

Where the US Open's a good example.

We've seen classic courses in the States, which have changed dramatically.

They're trying to change those courses for a number of reasons,

but one of them the modern golf modern day. They ripped every tree out for many reasons.

So courses of old are still trying to work out what they need to be today. But if you were to

take a golf course and build it today, what would it look like with modern course for the modern ball, mon technology, modern player?

What are your thoughts on that one?

It's an interesting question, isn't it?

Oh, boy, that's a tough one to unpack.

We can talk about that in a lot of different ways.

We're going to get into the rollback here.

I did worry that this would spark you to begin.

Without Greg, for me to pull faces out while you're ranting, is that fair?
