Hello everyone. My name is Wayne C. and I live in the Tampa Bay area. One of my major passions in life is playing golf. (I also own a small golf shop, mostly web based) I will readily admit that I'm not the best player around, and in fact, being brutally honest, I very seldom break 90. Sure, if you take 2 balls off 1 and 10, play lift clean and place, and 2 mulligans a side, I might be a threat to 85 occasionally.
Anyway, to the reason I felt compelled to post my feelings. A few days ago I was perusing the sports pages of the local paper and came across the weekend PGA tournament results. Amazingly enough, the winning total was 22 UNDER PAR. What are these guys on? I couldn't shoot 22 under on a putt-putt course. AS amazing as this total was, that really wasn't the stat that astounded me. Glancing toward the bottom of the player finishes, I couldn't help but notice the cut line, or actually below the cut line. Alas, some poor soul shoot 69, 69, and missed the cut!!! How would it feel to to shoot 3 under 2 days in a row, and not make the weekend. The hell with that, how would it feel just to shoot 3 under!!
Should courses be even longer and tougher to protect par, or will birdie be the new "par for the course". I for one, prefer the US Open style setup for this group of SUPERGOLFERS, and firmly believe that "par" is a good score!!!
