Another Bad Golf Shot

Royal and Ancient and the USGA are apparently going to green light the use of laser devices to allow players a more accurate reading on distance to the pin. In the linked article, one player says it will speed up play and probably use it.

``They're probably doing it to speed up play and it's probably a good thing,'' Australia's Scott Barr, the Asian Tour's sixth-ranked golfer, said in a phone interview. ``They're moving with technology and I'll probably use it.''
Personally, I do not like this. One of the challenges of playing golf for anyone who has played, is to learn a course, learn distances. Some players do that better and others -- thru hard work. That hard work shouldn't be negated by this device. Perhaps most importantly, I do not think fans will like this development.
