It seems like a good idea to match the length of rough to the degree a player goes off line.

Hopefully this will prevent the US Open getting boring which it has done on several occasions in the past.

The USGA may finally see the light. I hope course designers follow suit. So many of the really penal courses these days employ what I call exponential penalty golf. If you miss a little, you pay a lot. Not only is that unfair to the better ball strikers, but it makes for miserable times for the higher handicap folks. There is skill and strategy involved in hoisting one out of reasonable rough over a hazard to get to the green. That skill and strategy becomes irrelevant if that same miss puts you OB, in the lake, or in rough over your knees.
