Mike,
As far as moving #4, and thus extending #5, that was ruled out, in an emphatic way, by Hootie in his press conference. Is that an acceptable source? As for as the absurd idea, IMHO, floated around (not by you), of rerouting the creek, moving the 13 green back 50 yards, and everyone lives happily ever afterward as we go skipping down the path holding hands, the source is me.
(maybe not an acceptable source, eh?
)
Mike, on another thread, you made the observation that you feared the players leading the Masters were all going to become one-dimensional, and we would have no scramblers, swashbucklers, technicians, all-arounders, and on and on, leading in the Masters, in the future. I replied back and asked if Mickelson, Garcia, Goosen, and Woods, didn't fit these definitions, in order. (I may not have all names exactly right as they were on the other thread)
As far as I know, you didn't reply to my question. Care to, now?
