They've really just bumped any short hitters out of the championship consideration equation.

They've really bumped any short hitters out of consideration. It's more difficult for shorter hitters. The shorter hitters are faced with a lot of improper shots into greens.

Any time you play in a USGA Championship, if you don't drive the ball on the fairway, you're dead. You're done.

A putt cannot go in the hole if it's short. I'd rather face a four-footer coming back than leave the ball on the front lip.

Cost is a consideration but you've got a breadbasket of considerations.

Golfers who play a lot of courses often encounter short ledges or retaining walls, and I always had fun hopping down from them. I could jump off something six feet high and land like a cat, no problem. Well, today I can't jump off anything higher than two feet without it just killing me.
