Jack Nicklaus is bad for golf.
There, I said it.
This is the most "no ****" thing ever.Water and grow the fairways = shorter drives.
I take Jack about as seriously with his hot takes on golf equipment as I do Gary Player on his environmental hot takes.Jack the spokesmen and record holder, not Jack the Golfer. Jack the golfer would have fought against this.
THIS. If it was his era, he’d throw a fit, but we are seeing him get grumpier with age.Jack the spokesmen and record holder, not Jack the Golfer. Jack the golfer would have fought against this.
Agronomy is the solution. Always has been.This is the most "no ****" thing ever.
Also, Rory hit 43% of fairways this week and finished in the top 20. Maybe, just MAYBE, they need to spend a bit more time making courses more difficult and stop trying to cheap their way into higher scores by screwing with equipment.

Their argument would be water costs money.Agronomy is the solution. Always has been.

Raising the blades on the mowers doesn’t.Their argument would be water costs money.
I like this. I'd also add that pros not in the top 50 owgr should have to play in a Monday/Tuesday qualifier for a Thursday tournament start.make the pros all play the same (rolled-back) ball.
change this ball week to week.
don't tell them the specs of the ball beforehand.
don't touch the equipment.
I would agree there, but we both know that the change wouldn’t be that common sensical, it’ll be extreme and stupid.The only thing I saw that I would definitely agree with is USGA tightening the tolerance on the CT testing. It was likened in GD as, currently the speed limit is 65, and you get fined going 72. tightening the tolerance would get you fined going 67.
Didn't they try that for the 2020 U.S. Open and it backfired?Maybe, just MAYBE, they need to spend a bit more time making courses more difficult and stop trying to cheap their way into higher scores by screwing with equipment.
But target golf fixes their made up distance problem if the rough is an actual deterrent, no?The problem with simply raising the mower blades is that with the longer players, they can play target golf. The biggest area of improvement to diminish distance is to make a course more penal when missing.
