Augusta Controversy

[ram418]

We know Jack is in favor of it. But "ruined the course" is not something Hootie would approve of.

Everyone tees it up from the same spot and plays the same coures so who cares about any of this? All golfers have the same equipment and balls. It's all relative. The best guy wins today and the the best guy won 30 years ago. Create a "Masters ball" and the best guy will win again.

If they want to favor long hitters, keep the rough low. If they want to favor accuracy let it grow! Rough is a great neutralizer.

The course has been wet pretty much every year since the lastest major changes were made. Wait until they get some windy/dry conditions.

Damn straight. Too many people forget or ignore the fact that the shorter guys are also using the new technology. Too often I hear arguments without any statistical evidence. Anyone have some figures on just how much more dominant the long pro's of today are than the bombers of yesteryear

Create a "masters ball" and no way can it be a level playing field

One approach is to look at the grooves on the clubs.
It penalizes inaccuracy off the tee even more, and makes it much harder to hit those wedges close to those tucked pins.

Seems as though ANGC is playing atypically tough this week.
