Golf is not"fair". And i don't buy your argument about more skill involved.
Where did I say there was more skill involved? And why is golf not "fair"?

...return some skill to the short game.

Not addressed to you Kevin, Marlboro on the post before.
But it is "different". One stroke has the butt end fixed the other the butt end is moving. We can argue all day if it makes a "difference".

I have to side with the Marlboro Man on this one. Do you carry a 64? If not and you can get your hands on one, play with it for a little while. It's a fun club. I bet you find it less "forgiving" than say a 56. I also think you would find it more benefitial is certain situations, but the miss is usually worse. IMO, the clubs on either end of the scale (1, 2 iron or 62, 64 wedge) require more skill to hit well, or at least more penalizing when you don't.
The only time I've found golf not to be fair is when someone is playing by the rules and somone isn't. I don't equate kind with fair.

I have completely whiffed trying to hit a 64 degree.
Putting should count for half strokes.
Hmm. So where would the Langer yip-grip fall? The handle wasn't "resting" against his forearm, it was bloody-well clamped.
Alls I know is, if I have the winning ticket tonight I'm buying everyone on the forum their choice of belly or long putter.
