Can you imagine these guys at "The Old Course"?

"It's relatively calm out here now, Jim...breeze coming out of the southwest as the final group steps to the tee."

"Yeah, he's made two birdies and eagle on this starting hole so far this week...but the final round pressure is intense."

"Yes Jim, but the adrenaline pumping right now should be good for another 20-30 yards, no?"

"Well, he's got driver and that's a clear sign he's going to be playing aggressively today.   I hope he can get some backspin on this one."

"Oh Jim..he's crushed it.   He'll clear the burn easily, but it's a bit right..."

"Yikes...that took a big bounce....it's settled in some deep stuff about 20 yards over the green.  He'll have a rough time getting it close enough for birdie from there.   We may see a big swing on the very first hole.

"Well, the leader steps up and it looks like he is going with a more lofted club.   Clearly with the wind behind him about 10.23467 mph he's calibrated his 5-wood-hybrid with a softer ball for today's play.  If he hits any sort of decent shot he should be able to find the green."

Please don't take away my 2.7 yards....
TOC, ANGC, Merion as iconic and entertaining, historisccompetitive venues aren't as important as my 2 yards.;)

Mike,


I would like to see Popeye play the Old Course.  Especially if he plays it with hickory clubs!!

Seriously, my point here is more about "how" they are playing our playing our classic course than what they score.   

When guys are flying the ball 380 yards, we're soon going to start seeing a day when virtually every hole at TOC will be driveable downwind or even on a still day with the combination of carry and roll.
