Would you rather see a six foot crown on the greens? Or how about ten yard wide fairways AND 8" DEEP rough. Better yet, 30 foot deep bunkers. Better still, 18 Island greens.

In other words, it's a TV show. 4 hours on Sunday. Only one guy can win, get it done. A ten way tie can last six hours. That won't do. One guy has to stand out and lead to win. That's TV law.

Driving the ball long is what the average golfer and TV viewer is all about.

It's all about tee boxes. You get to choose which tee box you play from, you don't get to choose which green you aim to.

What compression ball? 60? 80?... Can you imagine all of the variables. Do you really think a fair ball can exist?

Imagine this. Tiger drives the new ball 260 yards. XYZ player drives the ball 240 yards. Then Tiger uses a 9 iron to hit the ball 125 yards and XYZ player uses an 8 iron to hit the ball 145yards. Hmm? I'm exited, are you? The average weight of a tour player will rise to 240 lbs and be able to bench press 400lbs. And, they will all have Moe Normans swing.

Hmm?? Here's another nightmare...If the PGA adopts a lower compression ball, then can all of the women and all of the seniors play on the same tour??????????????????????????????

I say a new policy is needed. ALL GOLF COURSES MUST HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 50 ACRES SURROUNDING THEM JUST IN CASE THEY NEED TO BE LENGTHENED.
