I agree with some of what you say, but not all. I agree that I have played here when the greens were so bad that it was impossible to adjust to them. But I also think that not knowing what kind of shot I have to try from rough or a trap or a hazard is what makes golf so unique and enjoyable, and also makes me a better golfer.
