I watch golf for enjoyment.
I don't enjoy watching guys have to play to the exact same spot with the exact same shot (50 feet away from a pin) on a 92 yard par 3 because there is no other place to play it. I don't enjoy watching guys stand on a tee with almost no chance of hitting the green on 218 yard par 3s. I don't.
I don't like watching wars of attrition on TV. If I did, I would just walk around my local course on any given day....after all, when 100 percent of those crappy golfers have the same chance of hitting a green in regulation as the best 70 players in the world, I'd be essentially watching the same thing....but with a lot less commercials.
I think the golfing public (absent 50 people on this site) feel the exact same way.
