Again leave the judgements to the pros, who I must say do make mistakes BUT they know more then we do about the needs of the courses.
Very well said!!!! They are suppose to do the Tee Boxes also. Doing it now, is better then waiting till fall when there is more play in TV. I look at the available tee times on Championship courses, and there are ample tee times, on a daily basis at other courses for now. I myself, always like improvements, when it benefits all of us.
