YOu still have to "roll the rock" and hole putts to go that low.[/size]Has anyone/body done any studies on putting?Is it better today with all these technology-laden, weight-balanced, pieces of carbon fiber tungsten things that hardly fit in a golf bag?Take an 8802 and a Bulls Eye and compare that with one of those unsightly Taylor Made Spider things that Jason Day uses. Tell me it's easier to knock in putts inside 8' with these!!Plus, the Super Stroke grips!! Who has putting stat comparisons for past 20 years?

Dave Pelz's various analysis would be a good place to start your investigation.

Stephan Jaeger shot his 58 with a 50-year-old PING Manganese Bronze Anser putter he found in a friend's closet.

Any more research needed? :)

For a course to play today as a 6900 course did in 1930 (a not unusual length for championship play at the time), the modern course needs to be about 8200 yards. That should be shocking.


You sure about that? I'd think it would need to be closer to 9000.
