How do you judge?
[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the question TL
I'll ignore whales crap. The usual abuse. She Adds a lot to discussion on this forum
Aside from what Ive seen and know from personal experience Ive read enough of late to believe it's the case.
How do you really judge to be sure you're right?....of course it can't be done. It's a pub bar discussion thats usually fun until people like whale show their class
As to what Ive read. Tiger has said recently how dumb the current players are. They can hit the new whiz bang clubs but dont have the golfing nous or brains. Course manageent, in tigers view, is limited
Ive read about current players who have said, thank god they didn't have to use the clubs that Faldo, Norman, Seve, Jack & Arnie had to use. They can't swing them the same way and get the distance results they get with the new gear. Im 58, just got a new driver and have picked up an extra 30m
. Im hitting the ball further now off a pathetic 30 handicap than when I was a single figure golfer in my late teens
Jack was hitting the ball further in his 60's with the new clubs than he did in his prime. The shark drives the ball as far as these blokes do now
I think you'll find the accuracy figures are way down as well. Both driving and greens in regulation.
When technology allows you to use a wedge into a green instead of 5 or 6 iron, of course you're going to look like a super star

what a long, totally irrelevant post. We know modern equipment lets them drive further, still doen't back up your ridiculous argument about today's talent not being able to adjust
