Pre-Majors Site Practice: Should It Be Controlled?

[mrodock]

I know you either win a major or you don't, 2nd or missing the cut is about the same to a top player. However, I wish I could do something that does me no good and get paid about 1/2 million.

I agree with the idea of limiting practice rounds, although before Yoda brought up this point I really respected the players that would go through the trouble to put in the extra effort. The only thing problematic with limiting practice rounds is if someone in the field was a member since they were 4. If I was a PGA Tour player and they enacted some kind of a rule to limit practice rounds to the week of only, 6 hour rounds, 1 ball hit into the green, I would start playing practice rounds for majors over a year ahead of time and get all the information down so that when I got there the week of the major I would be way ahead of the curve. I would try to purchase a membership for a year if that is anywhere near possible at the prestigious private clubs. For one of the best players in the world even if it is $1 million I would figure it is money well spent, because it's all about the majors.
