But what a lot of people were missing Kev was that -12 at the masters is 276. When somene wins the open at -3 , the score is 277. I don't think they needed these drastic changes. 13 could have become a par 4 , and maybe one of the par 5's on the front could have been brought up to have a par 70 course if they wanted a low under par score to win. THis is not the same course any more and it's a shame.

I understand you position Martin..and I respect it.
To me...par means nothing. If it takes shooting 290 or 291 to win a major tournament...then dammit...shoot that 290.
The golf ball has changed the game completely.
