Regardless we are watching the New Golf. Guys used to have to learn on the minor tours. Now Morikawa, Hovland, Niemann and a flock of others contend in their early twenties. And thin guys hit it 340. Incredible. No place to move the tees back so maybe in PGA events turn the 560 par 5's into par fours and the short par 4's into threes. Or play with a dead ball.

What’s the logic of turning a par five into a par four? Hypothetically wouldn’t you still end up taking the same number of shots.
