watching Dubai yesterday just showed how much distance can be a factor if you are a solid ball stricker. Par 5 18th, Ernie hits a 6 iron compared to Jimenez 3 wood. Who on average is going to score lower on that hole.

Even at Doral you saw Tiger 30 yrds ahead of Phil at times and before that Phil was ahead of most others by that much.

Hitting 3 clubs less into a green is far more easier than 3 clubs more.


The guys in the top 5 are bombers. I have seen more tour guys say they can never be as good as those guys. ie. Toms said that last week. Dimarco has said the same. That length off the tee is a huge favor.

You should try scotland - where the real golf is played :P ( i know im going to get stick from that ...lol)
