You can't even see the dog in the bunker throwing it out.

"Loving the no caddies, no carts, just trolleys "

I wish this is what the Olympics would look like.

Two things seem odd to me. One, he doesn't seem to swing very hard at all for a drive on a Par 4. Two, there seems to be a time lag while the ball is in the bunker.

"Loving the no caddies, no carts, just trolleys " This is the norm in UK Australia and New Zealand at any course. Carts are quite rare and generally only used by the infirm or larrikins. Slightly infirm golfers have electric trolleys. Which I can now testify are less tiring for 18 holes through wet or muddy Bermuda. We got 600mm, 24 inches of rain here, on the Equator, last month- courses still open, just.

3foot1 - so you are claiming this as fake?!? Come on mate you can't be serious?

Love the pros and their simple trolleys as much as the Albatross, just imagine US PGA Tour players playing like that. I know trolleys are the local norm, but pros on a pro-am day would be as rare as a 6-legged cat in the US.

Played the course a few times last week. Big bunkers on this hole... and walls are devoid of sand, very rocky. Not unbelievable at all they can pop out seemingly faster than the popped in.

3foot1,

That hole is only just over 300 metres, was playing down wind and it's a pretty firm seaside course. And down-wind at 13th Beach (nearly any day) means 25 knots plus of breeze. Most Tour Pros wouldn't need to be crushing it.

And Michael covered the state of the bunkers. They don't hold much sand in the faces due to the ever present wind.
