Abstract/Contents:Discusses the golf course distance, stating that "part of the problem is simply that so much of golf talk is based upon the PGA [Professional Golfers' Association] Tour, a place where 350-yard tee shots are commonplace and competitors regularly hit 550-yard par 5s with mid-irons on their second shots...Yet even if...Nationwide Tour pros, college players and strong amateurs who regularly play in state and regional championships [are included], the percentage of golfers who play that kind of game is a vast minority." Presents several courses that have lengthened their distance, including Winged Foot's West Course. Suggests that "courses easily can be ruined by the process of adding new tees."
