Some interesting comments from one of today's prominent designers.
"I just don't like to see all those confining elements. In some ways, we've lost the game of golf and created an obstacle course.
"I say that if you want it the same every time, go join the military. If we can't keep that marvelous flexibility of getting from point A to point B, we're lost. The more options you can give a player, the better the golf course. It's about getting to that green and having some fun doing it."
If you haven't read GolfWeek, I will give the answer later.
