These greens are f-a-s-t. This is a great tournament so far. I have been viewing it in wide-screen high definition. First time in a golf Tournament I think.

In our previous posts we talked more about distance changes. It seems to me that the greens are giving players more trouble.

I'm seeing a lot of missed shots and some bad decisions. I think the tournament hype has gotten to their heads. However it is a very difficult course. Very.

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.

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.

The comments I heard by players after they played the course were all positive. If the ball is changed to go SHORTER... they can always move the tees up.
