D-9 with no roll on a 425 is about 280 + 135 or so. I play with guys who are carrying 9 irons 160 with the new bent-down lofts, but her irons didn't seem to rocket. Maybe that means lower swing speed on the irons. She showed exceptional distance control. In fact, that's the aspect of her game that was most impressive. You don't have to hit it dead-on to be close if you're able to dial in the distance.
As for your continued untested theories about money attracting the better "athletes" (which you believe solely means size), did you check a gander of the guys at the U.S. Am? I'm still waiting for these big guys you talk about to show up. And, yes, Tim Clark is beating Brent Schwarzrock most weeks.
Your basketball analogy about Bob Cousy fails to take into account that the things that separated him from the rest in his prime would still work today. He displayed excellent court vision and an excellent feel for the game. He could just as easily have grown up today and learned more modern ball handling techniques (read: flashier dribbling) and become John Stockton. Looking at the rest of the positions on a basketball court, the increase of about 2 inches or so mirrors the general population. Also, as I've stated before, there is a TREMENDOUS advantage to being tall in basketball, where you want to be close to the basket. Not so in golf, where you want to be close to the ball.
I still contend that there are people who are just better athletes (which I contend includes coordination and timing as well as size and strength) that will always excel. When Jose Juan Barea makes the NBA, which I predicted over a year ago, I'll be LMAO at guys like you that think he's "just lucky to be there". Believe me, I heard that argument all the time about Scotty Brooks. No, Scotty Brooks was in the NBA for as long as he was because he was BETTER than everyone who wasn't.
Show me the tall golfers that excel and I'll change my story. You still are clinging to an unconfirmed theory.
