well i am old school.these young guns have no idea how to work the golf ball.it is the same type of setup every week now on tour.the l.a. open is a great example,back in the 80s if you broke par you would always finish in the top 5.now they have lengthed it and have hardly any rough and 13 under wins this year.the tour sure doesnt reward the true ballstriker anymore.
personally i think the great champions of the past would still be a force in todays game.it was more there will and mind that made those guys the great players they where.jack always made the putt when it was on the line.these young kids have no idea how golf use to be played,that is why hilton head and weschester have the highest winning scores on tour and they are both the 2 shortest courses.funny huh accuracy over length.look at 12 at augusta how hard a 145 yard hole plays.takes alot of talent to build a 7600 yard golf course,i think not,narrow the fairways grow the rough and firm up the greens and we would see who the best players in the world would be.i bet there would be a few changes at the top.

Thanks man! Who would you say are the best ball strikers out there these days?
Best of luck! And thanks for sharing your thoughts and time with us!
it is really hard to answer this one.kenny perry is probably the best and he happens to have the best right arm in golf.i look at this question as in day in day out.i would put myself up there and davis love.but any given week there is always someone having a great ballstriking week.also another tgm guy joe durant is top 3
Wow thanks for that John....kinda disappointing tho....
...
Ya I think I remember everyone raving about Hilton Head last year or w/e....short course, high winning score.....everyone seemed to really appreciate the setup.
So with that....
Why do you think the tour wouldn't wake up and do it right? Why aren't they accommodating ballstrikers anymore? Why do they choose to continue to setup courses for the bombers?
