re: On course: Men vs Women

The obvious distinction is distance, which everyone points to. You have to also look at type of course. If the rough is grown up such as a US Open, PGA, our Tour Championship, that hugely favors the men. Women wouldn’t be able to hit much more than a wedge out of that rough due to strength. The other factor is pin placements. Phil Mickleson played that Senior event and went really low. Afterwards he said he was able to take dead aim at every single pin. The pga guys can hoist a 5 iron straight up in the air, 220, as stop it quickly. There’s many more pins accessible to them than the women. Mickleson also talked about how cups on PGA were placed on knobs where it can get hard to be aggressive putting, but we’re flat with the Senior setup. I’m sure it’s the same with LPGA.
