Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3160432, member: 73"] I was there on Friday. Gotta be long and very straight. The ruff...all the ruff is very very deep. You cant move the ball very far out of the ruff. I thought many of the fairways were generous however the elevations off the tee and to many of the greens were tuff. The elevations were very very high like hitting off a mountain and to a mountain where makes depth perception very tuff. The game of golf has become a game of distance more so now then in the past. Controlled Length is what its all about. I know the PGA and R&A have been talking about how to make courses tuffer because to many players are overpowering golf courses today. We should expect to see some changes over the next 2-3 years from what I was told. Longer and thicker ruff, tighter fairways, and a change in the ball so it doesnt travel as far. Still with the length we are seeing from the players today its hard to expect that these players wont still shoot lights out. IMO one of the changes needs to be on the greens. More firm greens.
