I learned that this course was designed to be played in March and anyone who plays golf can see the differences. The balls don't travel as far and the fairways and greens are softer, not to mention the winds which can wreak havoc on drives and approach shots. To me, it just seems a much more challenging course to play this time of year.

I agree that the weather made the final round very interesting.   And I did notice, the drives were not going very far at all.  I remember one of the commentators saying Rory McIlroy had crushed a drive, and it went all of 309.   In other tournaments, it's not unusual to see drives go 350.   

I went to the Wednesday practice round.  What I really love is watching the pros hit balls on the driving range.
