just an aside on length.  a couple of years ago when Mav was on the team, I went and followed him at a local college tournament.  on one hole, a 168 par 3 over water.  wind was in his face and he sawed off a high cut 8 iron onto the green and a bit long.  I asked him about it afterwards.  he thought it was playing closer to 180 and he was worried that 9 wasn't enough and he didn't bring want to bring the water into play -- so the 8 was the play.  

the moral here is 7460 is long but not eye opening for these kids.  keeping it in play off the tee and play to the right parts of the greens will keep their eyes open.  I hope hulk is right about the course favoring management over brute length/strength.
