Re: making golf courses easier?!

My course is already easy and they're making it easier. They've taken out the only 2 fairway bunkers on the course, because they thought they were double hazards with the trees close to them as well.

All of the difficulty besides trees are on the right side of the course. All the OB and water hazards are on the right side. The water hazards aren't in play for half the players out there, including myself. Easy enough to bomb it over them.
They also took some trees out, but from what I heard they had to do to some USGA rule about having to have the fairway so wide if there trees in the fairway. They had trees around the front tees on a par 5 you had to get around to get to the fairway. Holes a ton easier now.

The greens have always been easy to two putt. The breaks can be hard to read as the green is so flat but if your speed is on, you can aim right at the hole and never worry about more than a 3 footer for your 2 putt.
