I like your thinking. I enjoy playing with guys that drive the ball 300. I enjoy taking their money too. I make them bet closest to the pin. That shuts them up.

I always thought that by lengthening the course and growing the rough that the course settup people were reducing Tigers advantage. The other day, I was watching the Golf Channel (oops) and someone said that by lengthening the course and growing the rough, they gave him an advantage. Which is it? I believe that on any given day Tiger can win on any Golf Course under any conditions. It's purely up to him.

The problem is Television. I would love to see a shorter course so that two or more (the more the better) players are in a play-off. The player with the best control of his game, nerves and swing will win. Very exciting. However this could take much more time than Television Broadcasting Companies allow. It' also nerve-racking on the viewers too.

I wonder if this holds up to # of playoffs per season from 1925 til today.
