Carnoustie May Not Be Car-Nasty

July 16, 2007

The New York Times Reports that Carnoustie may not be as difficult this time around.

Peter Dawson, the Royal & Ancient chief executive, said the weather had given the Scottish links an odd combination of soft conditions and moderate rough.

“This has been the driest April we’ve had for a long time, followed by the wettest period in late May or June,” Dawson said. “Whilst the ground is wetter than we like to see, it hasn’t resulted in quite as much grass.

“Very unusual conditions.”

If it’s not so hard, I will be disappointed.
