Le Golf National sits in a well-to-do suburb southwest of Paris, a place where every house has a driveway, a garage and a postbox on the lawn. It feels a world away from the Olympic buzz and as the sun rose there was little to suggest the Games were happening at all. You could find “Paris 2024” branded on metal gating outside and giant Olympic rings beside the first tee, but otherwise this was just another pristine golf course.
