20 Mar Topics for heated clubhouse debate

Posted at 03:31h in Golf Tip by

Discussions at many a clubhouse bar are often about who’s best or what’s best. Who’s the best player right now or who’s the best of all time — Jack Nicklaus? Perhaps more subjective is what’s the best golf course on the planet?

Now some say that Pebble Beach is a great golf course. However, given its position and fantastic vistas, it would be hard to build something that wasn’t spectacular! Hence the question that must be asked — what’s more important the architect or the parcel of land and its position?

Now, there’s some food for thought, or the start of a great argument! And here’s another good subject for a heated chat: Has the perfect physical specimen required to be competitive for any tour changed over the years? I believe that it’s changed greatly compared to 30 years ago, and I fear that the opportunities for a slightly built player to succeed are becoming fewer and fewer.

Let’s face it, if you can’t drive it 300 yards today, you’re at a great disadvantage. So it helps if you’re extremely fit and strong, are over six feet tall, have size 13 golf shoes and work out every day.

Out of Bounds: Why did the wombat cross the road? To see its flat mate!
