Golf isn’t just about hitting the ball as far as possible or using the latest technology to outsmart the course.
Rather, it’s about appreciating the subtle intricacies of the game, the strategic design of the courses, and the challenge that comes with each swing.
John Erickson noticed that some are trying to conquer golf, to beat it into submission with advanced equipment and brute force.
But perhaps, the true beauty of golf is in its resistance to such conquest.

was there anything wrong with golf playing the classic Great Courses let’s just take Pebble Beach does it really need to be longer it doesn’t make any sense from a design standpoint or from the standpoint of the game this idea that golf is very hard and I feel like people are angry at it any way they can beat up this game or if we can figure out how to hit it farther and take the spin off the ball we can just beat up these courses and stuff I feel like there’s some kind of like a resentment or something that the game is just hard we’re going to do everything technology if humans can’t do it we’ll have technology do it we’re going to beat up this game somehow I think people are missing the point of the beauty of golf and the design

Good short! But there is a significant market of golfers that will never be able to go into the office on Monday to brag about their score. So those golfers just play to be able to brag that they hit a 300 yard drive, or hit their wedge 160 yards on #4. I predict that within 5 years everyone will have 10 wedges in their bags ranging from 20 degrees thru 64 degrees.
Also, the best way for club and ball makers to sell new models was to add a few yards every 12 months.
