Tim Finchem, the PGA Tour Commissioner, makes reference to the troubles at TPC this year
http://www.pgatour.com/tourreport/2014/05/06/tim-finchem-greens-Stadium-Course.html"Another option under consideration is reworking and enlarging some of the more troublesome greens."
"That means a little bit more space, another pin placement, a little different ingress and egress," Finchem said. "It's challenging because we don't want to give up the strategic value and the historical aspects, but we're looking to do some things around the edges that will help us during winter."
The commissioner added that "we can make bigger greens and probably not have a problem. We were trying to maintain the heritage of what these greens mean, historically, so you don't want to do that."
This is a refreshing statement for the lovers of the retention of traditional greens, even if they're not perfect.
Will he have any influence on the USGA and more importantly the R&A to discontinue their tinkering of courses that have been played the same way through different generations, just for the sake of making it more difficult for the top 200 golfers once a year.
