Is that how many of you on this site feel about golf?
If so, I pity you. Golf, as it is played today, is a great, great game. It still rewards everything it did in the past, just in a slightly different way. It still rewards power, finesse, touch, imagination, hand-eye coordination, stamina, mental toughness, dedication, patience, and strength of character.
To me, that's what golf is, was, and always will be about. That, and kicking other golfers' asses. ;-)
Try to remember that. :-)
