The lack of links golf on professional tours annoys me. Its like test cricket (something you may not be able to relate to). But both are the foundations of their sport and when honoured it makes it very special. I think the ones 'pulling the strings' feel links has too many unknown quantities and will produce random winners as not enough players have the skillset to play it and they put it on to ;luck - now there is a point to be made that yes links has more unknown quantities however you can make your own luck through practise, visualisation and creativity. I feel its not to make the open special(no ryder cups on links) but to retain the 'drop and stop' game which lacks the imagination but increases US participation - so on that basis its a bit sad.
