Take away the greens books as well. Players and caddies should have to read putts with their eyes.

Lol Jack made his living crushing driver and hitting short irons.

It took a lot more skill with a persimmon driver and the golf balls used then.

It would be an interesting read to see a complete breakdown of hiow Jack played Augusta in his heyday and compare that to Tiger in his hey day and then with Dustin Johnson’s win.I know the holes have been changed, but it would be interesting to see how the strategy of champions has changed.

One of the better articles I’ve seen with actual comparisons of today’s players hitting balls or playing rounds with their clubs and then with vintage equipment.

It’s always been about the ball. Change the ball.

I would love to see narrower fairways with mostly trouble on either side. There is a country club here in Birmingham I joined last year due to the ridiculously low dues in order to attract new members that is really short, but is the tighest golf course I have ever played. It's called Heatherwood County Club. The former PGA pro that I take lessons from said it's the hardest course he's played due to the punishment for being left or right off the tees and the elevated greens with serious trouble around a good amount of them. Playing there has forced me to become a much better player.

62 is the new 66.

And the big guy still thinks he shot 68. We will call it 72 until he stops lurking and comes to defend himself

And we go to the final round on a great course, with lift clean and place rules, and the leaders are -10 on a par 72. Both leaders have shot 72 this week. All the guys tied for 3rd have a 72 or worse.

Sometimes they go low and sometimes great courses strike back. Phoenix next week will usually produce a -17 or -18. Glad this week is tough and a ton of quality players at the top.
