What with the length of the ball, and global warming reducing the windiness, and all, is there any links course in the british isles that can provide an adequate test for today's pros?
Maybe they can still hold it if they stick to either Carnoustie, and the upcoming UK Ryder cup sites, or perhaps the R&A should look carefully at courses designed by Americans in the UK. I think Celtic Manor has plenty of room to grow to 8,000 yards.
