A Clayman,
That's true, but I've found it very difficult to make birdie from
Out-of-bounds, and, it helps when your medium iron shot to the green leaves you 20 feet from the hole for eagle, settling for that tap in 6 incher for birdie.
It seems that the shorter, perhaps more protected holes, have resisted the influence in lenght better than their longer counterparts, where
DISTANCE WAS PART OF THE PRIMARY STRATEGY.
