When Tiger Woods came on the scene many courses had to be reworked because he was simply hitting over all the hazards. Now with newer technology and the increased athleticism of new players, they are hitting even farther. Personally I would prefer they continue to re-work the courses, but they may not have the space.
- bombcar 4y agoEven if the courses are reworked it kills one of the fun things in sports, the historical comparisons. Was Babe Ruth a better hitter than Barry Bonds? If the golf course has the same name but the course and equipment are different, it’s really a different game.
- matwood 4y agoHistorical comparisons are hard because many tournaments are not at the same course every year, weather is often different, and courses have always been changed over time. When it comes to pros, something as seemingly simple as pin placement can radically change the outcome and those are moved every round.
