For a measure of Muirfield’s enduring quality, try to find a critical remark from the world’s finest when they gather in July. You won’t, because it is the fairest course on The Open rota and the players love such a strategic test. Martin Hawtree has added six new tees which for a traditional club is nigh-on revolutionary.
