....denotes that soft, receptive greens are a good thing. Do you agree with this commentary oft repeated during this tourney?

Don't just spout party lines...do you enjoy soft receptive greens more than firm, less predictable bouncy greens?

I'm not sure if Tiger does, less chance of separating himself from the pack.

Joe:

Not at all, never, not at that level. But when greens are that receptive on any Tour venue it sure does show how good those guys really are with something like distance control.
