Does he not speak English at all or just not very good English?  Ichiro Suzuki has always spoken relatively good English but when he spoke to the press he always used an interpreter to avoid any possible mistakes/misunderstandings. 

I heard that he understand english quite well but he´s not that fluent in speaking so he prefer to have a translator to speak for him.

All the time people said that courses are too short for the distances the Pro hit their drives. Well this course been short make them think twice before picking the driver or a safer club. Love it !

There's a difference between good short/strategic courses and a course that routinely takes driver out of your hand and puts everyone on the same playing field. TPC is essentially socialism in golf course form.

Can you explain that difference?

Lol, I dunno if I necessarily agree with your point here, but it definitely made me crack up.

Courses that take driver out of your hand= long players simply don't have the ability or option to hit driver because of obstacles...essentially every player has to play to the same landing spot 260 yards out. I believe that a course should almost never take driver out of your hand...and if it does, it better not be for more than one hole. TPC does it on several.

Good short strategic courses give players the risk/reward option to hit driver. Guys can lay up to a specific target but they also have the option to go long and they don't have to leave driver in the bag. Because of some of this criticism, TPC revamped the 12th hole to try to make it a true risk/reward hole this year but even their attempts at accomplishing that came up well short because of various reasons.

Mostly tongue in cheek to make a point....mostly

Does he have to?

IMO Yes he does. You go to work elsewhere, the expectation is that you can communicate.
