After the Skins game last week, Jack was saying how golf balls and drivers had now made many courses obsolete.

I've also read how in tennis the new rackets have such a huge sweet spot that it has taken some of the required skill away and changed the game into more of a power game.

Major League Baseball doesn't allow aluminum bats. Should perhaps the elite tours put tighter limits on the equipment that can be used?

In tennis I don't see it as much of an issue, but in golf, where the course is integral, perhaps the US PGA and the R&A should mandate 'older' technology to bring more of the courses into play. I still think the PGA money list would look similar to how it does today (I'm sure a few players would suffer, but they all still "putt for dough"), but it would mean many of the older courses could still be viable PGA courses.

Is it just a sign of the times, and courses should follow the lead of other venerable courses such as Augusta and add some length to some of the holes? Or should some of the equipment be reigned in to keep the driving distances more reasonable to what the course was designed for?
