“Angles Don’t Matter”

[Mark_Fine]

Rob,
Is Michael into trees?  Be clear I have taken out literally thousands more trees then I have planted on golf courses but all for good reason (at least I like to think with good reason)     But well thought out and well placed trees can be great hazards and force shots that ground features cannot.  They can definitely make angles matter.  Play Harbour Town or even a course like Cypress Point and tell me otherwise.

Play a course with trees and then tell me angles don’t matter.
…
They definitely can make angles matter.

That's not what anyone's talking about when they're talking about angles.

Yes, he is of the opinion that removing trees is a huge problem. Tour courses need more trees and and if there were more trees the ball rollback wouldn’t be necessary.


I love Harbor Town. You can’t just be in the fairway you need to be on the proper side of the fairway.
