“a par 4 that is longer than a par 5! what would Hogan think? nine iron from 180! 3 woods off the tee over 300 yds! shots from the deep rough with backspin. balls so hot they will fly over 350 yds! drivers bigger than a toaster! greens so smooth that they make 50 out of 50 inside of 8 feet during a tournament! sorry, but that is not golf. Tiger the greatest, i don't think so. let him play with the equipment and conditions that Hogan or Nicklaus did and we would see. money, technology and power has ruined the game. listen to Palmer, Nicklaus, Watson, Trevino and Player before it's too late. they all say the same thing, cut back on the ball and technology. they ALL can't be wrong! ”

“It appears if you want to make a course harder you make it longer. This only allows the bombers to play golf, not the surgeons. I would like to see shorter courses, small landing spots and very small greens. The skill level would be more important. For me to even think of getting to a 525 yard par four in two is a dream.”
