IMHO, a change is good. It's very hard to please everyone, and coming up with a good golf hole turned out to be harder than I expected. There is no denying that this hole is the toughest one to date. As long as the holes don't get progressively tougher, then it's fine to have a hard one. One might argue that solving the problem is taking more time that golfing the solutions, but finding the solution is part of the game. The harder the problem, the more the available strategies (is that true?). --/-\la
