00:00Do you get worried at all about St. Andrews just being able to defend itself against the world's best players now with power?
00:06You just played in 40-mile-an-hour wins.
00:08It's not exactly what these players might face the next Open there.
00:13For sure.
00:13I mean, I'm sorry.
00:15I'm 62.
00:16I started to say I'm 62.
00:17I turned 63 the day I was playing there.
00:20So, sorry, the day after I turned 63.
00:23And I drove the – well, I drove it three feet from the front of the green at 18.
00:30And then two-putted for birdie.
00:32And so, yes.
00:35I mean, the golf course – I mean, and Paul McGinley and I have this debate back and forth.
00:40I don't know where you fall on this, Smiley.
00:44To me, it's like the only way, if you really want to make a difference between what's going on in the world of professional golf and everywhere else,
00:51you'd have to bifurcate the rules.
00:53That's it.
00:54You'd have to – if you really wanted to rein the ball back, you'd have to rein it back 30, 40 yards.
00:59I don't believe that this rollback that's going to come about here in the next few years is going to make that big a difference
01:05because guys are coming out of college now and they're swinging 130, 135 miles an hour.
01:12And so, to only – you know, to protect these designs, you'd have to bifurcate the rules.
01:17You'd have to have one set of rules for equipment for the pros and the rest for the rest of us.
01:22And that's it.
01:25And that's such a difficult thing to do.
01:27It's a very difficult subject to get your arms around and get through all the litigation and the pushback from everybody in the game.
