I would be willing to try the courses with larger holes. The argument that it isn't real golf doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What is real golf? Is it a 7,200 yard layout? Is it a links course with mounds and with brown greens and hundreds of pot bunkers? Is it a 2000 yard executive course, or 1200 yards from the forward tees? Is it played with a feathery and hickory shafts or a pro v1 and graphite shafts? Is it beautifully manicured, watered fairways with football field size bent grass greens, or a rough course carved out of a pasture with sand greens? Do you have to walk to make it real, or can you ride in a luxurious cart around the course? There are and always have been many ways to play golf, and if someone wants to play the game with larger holes because it is faster or more fun then good on 'em.
