@RobertTyreMarks @golfer07840 @MarkBanazek @zagnut Johnny, I grew up playing Westward Ho!, Royal North Devon. The 13th was a 460 par four; on the odd calm day for a fit 20yo it played driver, 2 iron The White tee is very broadly in the same place still. Now a par 5 and plays driver, 5 iron in that same dead calm

@golfer07840 @MarkBanazek @zagnut @RetiredMgr Golfer has never been EASY, but given the same length of course, golf is much, much EASIER than it was 50 yrs ago. We didn’t have huge drivers, hybrids or rocket balls. When I started our 462y 7th hole was Driver/4W. By the time I left, at 47yrs old, I could reach it with 6-iron.

In the days before every par 5 was a gift birdie, and before every 420y par 4 was a drive and pitch….how did the old timers shoot 65 on a 6,800y course when a 7-iron shot was 145y and par 5s were three-shotters?

@wastingmytime59 @phughes76340646 @rustyrockets She ignored Easter her entire reign, except the once in Covid She also sought to cover up her second son's perversions and had to be coerced into proper conduct when her former daughter in law died Great monarch, but flawed

@FrancaisFarage @DavefromEpping The prospect of 200 years of bloodshed, tyranny, civil war and mass emigration that was the direct consequence of the last Reformation? Overthrow of the true royal house cos they were the wrong religious flavour? Christians murdering Christians with Albanian mercenaries? Ideal

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were Johnson - got prime minister Farage - got a cult following Putin - got a weaker UK and Europe. The rest of us got a poorer, more divided country with less rights and freedoms. Plus now we know reform were on the Russian take.

@golfer07840 @MarkBanazek @zagnut @RobertTyreMarks For a very good player yes, it is. Without the tech I would not be producing the scores I do, without question Hence easier Is it still maddening, frustrating and downright bloody hard to learn, kicks you in the teeth every time you play so you can't wait to go again? You bet

@AtWyattJones @zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks Is the gazillions of dollars being spent to artificially lengthen/strengthen golf courses beggaring the game? Yes Is having to consequently walk an extra mile from green to tee each round stupidly time consuming? Obviously Baseball, athletics, tennisreeled tech in. So must golf

@AtWyattJones @zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks Good players are good players in whatever age, and power/length has always been an advantage, as watching Nicklaus in his pomp would prove Am I bored with constant short iron approaches? Yes. Are the ridiculous green speeds needed to protect courses slowing the game? Yes

@zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks And, let me stress, I'm 6ft 2, twelve and a half stone wringing wet, have spaghetti arms and legs and don't go to the gym Sorry my friend. The kit is what makes it. I still have my old persimmons snd 90s blades. I'm 30 yards shorter off the tee and two clubs shorter iron wise

@zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks And yet average handicap levels haven't moved, if anything gone slightly higher I can't agree with your idea of helping bad players more. Put the best gear in the hands of a 100 shooter, they'll still shoot 100. Meanwhile, at 65 I'm still hitting 280, in play consistently

@zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks What data suggests they are? As a 65 year old 1 handicapper I now hit the ball the same distance as I did at 35. That's not skill; as a consequence of age that's diminishing. Ergo its the kit Thus, there can be little doubt tech now rules, not skill alone Anecdotal, I know

@RetiredMgr @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks Yeah, modern golfers are the only athletes that haven’t improved over time. What data suggests that modern players aren’t as all around skilled?

@zagnut @golfer07840 @RobertTyreMarks I'm not sure you meant to highlight just how dependent on technology the modern professional is, rather than innate talent. Not saying they aren't good (they obviously are) but maybe not as all round skilled as those who played with persimmon and balata

CHARLES III is arguably no longer King. I asked Gemini is Charles could renounce Christianity and remain King. If Charles has embraced Islam this precludes him from ruling as monarch..

@golfer07840 @zagnut @RobertTyreMarks True I remember a piece fairly recently the DP World Tour did with Callaway. Van Rooyen and Wallace hitting drivers through the ages. Neither could hit the planet with persimmon Game used to be about SOOO much more than power. And was better for that
