Good stuff....
Yeah, when you're chipping and pitching on from 35 yards, who needs accuracy?
I think the most under-reported stat is Woods being ranked tied for 31st in Total Driving. All you hear about is how inaccurate he is. Bomb and gouge is here to stay for a while.
Wait, someone actually hears that Tiger is inaccurate from the tee?? I thought I was the only one who points out how many people he hits. Tom must have been listening to Johnny Miller that day.
I imagine the legends from the early 20th century are not happy with today's game. Back then, golf was about doing everything right and being rewarded. Now it seems it's about screwing up all you want and still making about $1 Million per tournament for screwing up less than the guy who finishes second.
