Videos: Muirfield's 1st and 2nd Holes

/

Thanks to Golf Monthly and Strokesaver for these looks at Muirfield's first two holes, starting with the straightforward but difficult 448-yard opener.

And the 365 second hole, with a horrible new bunker added to the front of the cluster of three guarding the green to discourage players from driving the hole when downwind. That would be one of the R&A's "The Treatment" bunkers. The rough up the left side also negates a play to the best angle of attack at a green with a distinct right to left and back to front tilt. Other than that, I think it's a splendid preparation of a really nice hole.
