I don't have a problem with how far the guys now can hit the ball, but I do think the penalty for not hitting the fairway should be much more severe then it is now. I think that something is wrong with the course setups when Tiger can be #179 in fairways hit and #1 in greens in regulation. Sometimes he hits it so far offline that he gets in the rough that has been walked down and ends up with an easier shot than the guys that just miss the fairway by a yard or two. I don't have anything against Tiger, in fact I think he is the best player in the game today. But if more of a premium were put on hitting the fairways and less advantage were given to strength he might not be so dominant. I don't mean to rant but just had to get that off of my chest.
