Curious with the different ages and handicaps we have on THP : How long ( in yards) a golf course are you comfortable playing. I know distance isn't the only fact or but for most it is a major one.
For me anything over 6600 yards is really hard as a 10 handicap. Being 62 years, old courses longer than that mean I'm hitting lots of 3 hybrids / 3 woods into par 4s which is OK some time but I don't want to do it all day. I have to depend on accuracy - not length to play up to my handicap. I would rather see narrow fairway and high rough which helps neutralize the guys that can consistently bomb it and just have a short iron in their hand.
What do you think???
