Current size is 4.25" so making a golf hole 6" isn't making it all that much bigger. I don't see it as a big deal at all---my bet is that some putts will still be missed.  |
If this is a factual statement it only confirms the need for pace of play is a much higher priority than tradition, quality of the game or plain old common sense.
Ditto for all of the above regarding the 6 inch hole. A thinking person with half a brain engaged would acknowledge the increased hole size will do nothing for the pace of play.
Desk jockeyes with a failed hypothesis....that makes them go home at night believing they have accomplished something.
This is not bile or sour grapes....just simply underscoring a stupid decision by those in power (for lack of a better term).
