The scores at Pinehurst weren’t that low because of the crowned greens. It certainly didn’t test their ability to find the fairway.

Indeed, the greens were the only thing that kept that course from playing at -20 for the tournament or so. Some days I just don’t know what to think. These guys are amazing athletes but they are overpowering golf courses and maybe that’s just the way it is now. The flip side is the tour could dial things back with the ball and clubs and make courses play longer , but there seems no real desire to do that.
