A shorter course doesn't give that much of an advantage to short hitters.

It's shorter for the longer hitters, too.  Who can get around all day long hitting 

stinger 2-irons where Webb's 3-wd goes. 

Length or lack thereof has nothing to do with this victory. Webb played tremendous golf for 3 days then hung in there better than anyone else on Sun.  Tiger played so-so (for him), almost played well on Sun, then didn't.

This course it´s perfect, you need to be accurate and play with strategy to score. It brings all the players to the same level.

Maybe not advantage to the short hitters, but definitely less of a disvantage for them. A longer course becomes a lot more difficult when you're hitting long irons into every green. The shorter a course gets, the more players can fight for the win. All the way until you hit nothing but putts, where most today's PGA pros wouldn't even be there due to the amount people it invites. By lengthening the courses, you make the group of likely winners even smaller.

I bet Lucas Glover won't shoot another 78 anytime soon....

If I were him I'd be making sure I shot 87 for each of my next 4 rounds so I can lose that hideous woman for once and for all.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
