I think it's one thing to claim you hit it 250 when you really hit it 220, and another entirely to be out there with your group hitting it 220 claiming you're hitting it 250. Take away the actual yardage and just stick with the color of the flag, and suddenly the ego is gone.
I know people would still play wherever the hell they wanted to, but I do think this would be a great tool to validate for those who are honest and reasonable.
I was at a THP Event last year and there was a hole that is 311 yards. Now it was set up to play 261 and it was downwind. People were still saying they drove it 300 yards.
I sometimes think its less about the mind and more about just not understanding completely, but I am sure its a bit of both.
