I don't know if Homer could see the future of golf equipment and golf courses. We've played courses in our Section events as long as 7800 yards. I know that the equipment has changed dramatically, but 6800 yards was long at one time. In our world, having distance is a great asset. I've got a course within miles of my house that's close to 8000 yards. There are three fairways that are unreachable, with a north-easterly wind. It's awesome for a masochist like me. I'd use six barrels if I had them.

Great post in my opinion. When reading Mr. Kelley's thoughts on using 4 barrels I thought about whether he would have changed his mind if he saw today's equipment. It requires so much less precision in ball striking, and as Mr. YodasLuke said, power is far more important these days...
