Willie doesn't care about st. Andrew's because the equipment and the altheticism has overcome the game.

Back in the 50's - 70's they didn't have the clubs, balls, etc that they do now.

The course hasn't changed much, the equipment has. Booming drives 350 compared to back then. The hazards are still there tho. When they can drive over bunkers it makes a major difference.

Greens these days are made for said equipment and the ability to control the ball. Spin. The old days didn't.

So yes, st Andrew's isn't what it was back in the day, compared to what golf is now.

It's still historic and cherished to watch for me.
