The evolution of the game at the pro level...

[faux_maestro]

Today's golfers are sissies, babied by the technology that allows them to hit it like crap and still shoot a score. I long for the players of yesteryear, who were masters at their crafts, unlike today's mashers who get by because of overly forgiving clubs and shafts. Where's Ben Hogan?!? He'd show these posers a thing or two....

Dariusz?

Sounds like a lot of old people that want the game to go backwards! I'm all for the technological improvments. The changes in agronomy have changed scoring as well. Old technology with rock hard fairways = big drives!

If you play golf as a pastime then accept the "pastime" score. The fact is that most "pastimers" do not want to acept a bogey score and hence they feel it is "far far far to hard" but it is not....

Frans, I am a sheet hat golfer and I accept only birdies and eagles, but look at some of these wannabe golfers who we see on the golf courses - they couldn't hit their own arse with a banjo. The game is too hard, aint nobody gonna convince me otherwise.
