Despite technological improvements the average handicap for golfers has not changed over the last fifty years. Also, the same overall scores (around 279) as fifty years ago are winning the US Masters !
I wish more people would 'wise up' and remember that 'CLUBS DON'T PLAY THE GAME, THE GOLFER DOES!'
Any thoughts ? |
Poor comparison. Augusta National has been lengthened by about 1,000 yards over the past 50 years. In addition they have lengthened the rough, sped up the greens, planted more trees, all in the name of trying to stay up with technology. You'll find this true at most courses around the world. If they haven't been lengthened/toughened up, the pro's eatem up for lunch.
