The point of the OP was not the length that these women hit the ball. It's the fact that the tour took away one of the great design features of a hole that really makes it unfair to some players. As I said, if the sky boxes or artificial wall had been constructed on the other side of the water, Nelly Korda would have won that tournament.
I know that the goal of the tours is to make money but I'd like to see the features of the golf course left as they were intended.
