The way it is now too much of a premium is placed on putting and not enough on ball striking. Mediocre players with a hot putter can win. A masterful ball stiker with a cold putter cannot win. A larger cup would make the game more balanced but it's too late now. The game has too much tradition to make that radical a change.Invader Zim!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05548117708165087892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-35377129077937693122011-09-14T15:55:40.574-04:002011-09-14T15:55:40.574-04:00An 8 inch cup is way to big.

Feeling proud of hitting a good putt or shot. It would make golf way to easy, more birdies, eagles, Aces!

I'm certainly not for it and would be shocked if it caught on.
