Harry Colt vs Ernie Els
« on: March 01, 2006, 04:19:56 PM »
While allowing his knee to mend, looks like the big fella spent the winter with his feet up in the mansion at Wentworth. Apparently, he got around to doodling a few new tees and bunkers for the old gal. We shall have to wait patiently until the World Matchplay to see how little harm he has done...

Will we be wishing it had been his wrists he had injured?

Should at least provide a real world comparison of sorts for JohnK, and for Jim Coleman as well.

Maybe Tom D could make his own suggestions first! :)

Remind us all when the Matchplay comes around.

Big drivers and hot balls are the product of golf course design that rewards the hit one far then hit one high strategy.  Shinny showed everyone how to take care of this whole technology dilemma. - Pat Brockwell, 6/24/04
