What I find interesting is that not all players are getting extra length. In the same article, they say that both Scott Hoch and Bernhard Langer look for the shorter or more technical courses. Obviously those two aren't hitting it as long and straight as the top guys on tour. The equipment is there for those two to hit is just as long as the rest of the guys, they just don't hit it straight enough at those distances. Bernie probably knows this best! I still think that this whole equipment shinanigan is just that a shinanigan. Who cares if guys are hitting it longer, isn't that why we watch them play? It seems that there are better ways of keeping guys from hitting it too far, hole #10 over at Riviera looked like a great way to do it to me. -Dave
