re: Is Bryson dechambeau on the liv tour anymore?

He’s trimmed down quite a bit in the last few months

It is crazy that IF you can hit it 290 on average, you are “short.”

Technology has really revolutionized the driver. I remember the first “oversized” drivers and how much of a difference they made over persimmon. Todays drivers are probably 40 yards longer than ones built in 1950.

I was a plus handicap in those days, I gained a lot off the tee and par 5’s got easy. Could just overpower short courses.

But yes, short par 3’s with trouble in the right places will always give players fits. I saw a technical analysis of #12 and the landing area on the Sunday pin is something like 7 yards long for a right handed player due to the dispersion pattern. Lefties have an easier time on that hole.
