Certainly your devotion to not dumbing down the game by making it easier to get the ball into the hole means you would never utilize any large faced driver, any graphite shaft, and ball designed to roll more smoothly or fly more distance as all of those are equipment changes which will give you a better score even though your skill level didn't improve. No hole in one with any club design invented since 1930 should count as those cheapen the records of those "real" golfers who managed the task before that arbitrary date. Why all this silly concern about well groomed greens? Learn to putt on the old fashioned ones.
Ever play basketball on a nine foot hoop? Or how about an 8 foot one where you could dunk. It was fun, a lot of fun. You knew you weren't playing NBA rules but you enjoyed playing and nobody got their dander up that if you want to play basketball you need to learn to hit your shots into a 10 foot basket. Bring on the six inch holes for those who want them. I hope they enjoy their round, share some camaraderie and come back for more. I don't care if they never advance to a 4.25 inch challenge. IMO

What bile? I don't see any bile in this thread. If you want to rebut some bilious posting, why not do that in the thread where you found it?
