Length on that course isn't that important. I caddy for Brian Gay, ranked 162 (276.9 yds) and 18 (66.8 %) and I really liked our chances on that golf course. We missed the cut, but the most he hit into a par 4 was a 5 iron, with the exception of #18 @ 447 yds which was into the wind all week. Number 9 @ 583 yds was into a strong wind and the other 3 par fives were all downwind. It was just ironic that the PGA Tour Staff only sets up their biggest event of the year correctly and doesn't do it more often in other towns. On that golf course, length only really helps a guy hit a couple of clubs less into holes, there isn't any trouble that a bomber can carry that a short hitter can't. Keep the post coming.

That's for your support. Personally, for me hitting a golf ball pure is one of the sweetest feelings in sports. I'm very interested in see who contends for the Masters, especially with all the course changes. And I wouldn't be surprise if a guy who can think his way around the course is not near the top of the leaderboard on Sunday. Yes, Augusta is long but shot placement is crucial.
