[QUOTE=PaulUnderwood;2305998]In my opinion half the problem is the golf course architect should have larger and less contoured greens. /QUOTE]
In most cases, it's exactly the opposite. "Contours" are what makes a Green work and helps drain the water away. Augusta National and Oakmont have some of the most severely contoured greens in professional golf ... also, some of the best greens in the world.
The size of greens are dictated by a number of factors, what kind of shots are they expected to receive, the ability to drain them and budgetary constraints. The cost to build and maintain greens, is exponentially more expensive than fairways or surrounds.
