Am I the only one that has a problem with punishing the company that innovates and advances golf balls?? I don't care if shorter courses can't lengthen out. I play a 9 hole course that is 2150 yards long. If the ball flies too far, then I simply club down. I don't blame the course for not lengthening. I've played a handful of shorter muni courses this year, and I simply teed off with a lot of irons as opposed to driver or 3-wood. In my opinion, the skill required to get par is largely the same.

Also, if you want to see ratings drop for golf on TV, the USGA probably should take away the long drives.
