-Brent Kelley at about.com talks about PowerPlay Golf. Nine holes of golf, two pins on each green (one an easy setting, one a more difficult placement), stableford scoring with the requirement that you must go for the hard pin on three greens during the first eight holes and have the option of doing so on the ninth. Something being touted as a way to increase golf play and interest. My opinion: Just another golf game with an added stick to complicate things. Lots of golfers (especially league golfers) in this area already play just nine holes and don't have any trouble picking out a game to play in the process. Go take a peek; you're even given a chance to vote on what you think - majority are voting for 'just regular golf'.

I can't see why I'm supposed to like it that every 90-pound weakling can now drive the ball 310 yards, find no rough anywhere he plays and, due to superior maintenance, make 10-footers like he used to make two-footers. A pro named David Ogrin once described me so accurately, saying I'm a "hostile voice from a previous generation." Well, somebody has to be.
