There are 10,000 sidebars to the rollback debate, all of them worth discussing. But the crux of the entire thing is actually pretty simple: Do you want to continue having Opens at St. Andrews, or do you not?

This is an aerial of Woodway Country Club taken in 1926, 8 years prior to the CT state aerial survey of 1934. I found it hanging in Darien town hall. I think it could be the oldest aerial of any Willie Park course in America and shows a true representation of his design work.
