It has been discussed before, but after watching first round coverage from both Utah Open and Goat Hill, I just struggle to want to watch the next round...
My tolerance is slipping...
Both courses certainly have challenges and test the players game, but open fairways, roped OB, baskets on mounds and near sand traps are just boring to watch (in my opinion)...
The big tourneys thus far have been primarily ball golf courses...
Next week, another ball golf course in SF (though this one has a bit more character), and then Santa Cruz which includes a ball golf course...
I just don't like the trend...the majority of the first half of the season is this....
I know that it has grown the sport and is better for spectators but, boring...
Makes me long to see more golf at Idlewild, Brewster Ridge, Iron Hill, Maple Hill, etc.
