"Golf around the world is about to discover a new dimension."

AP's Chris Lehourites reports on a fun concept called Powerplay Golf where some big names are going to play nine hole rounds with two hole locations. Points will be awarded in a Stableford-type format that rewards play to the tougher of the hole locations. The event is set for Celtic Manor in May.

I'm not quite sure though about this detail:

Each player will get limited opportunities to putt to the black flag, which would be placed in a more difficult part of the green. If a player makes a birdie into that hole, more points are awarded.

On the final hole, all players can go for the black flag, where organizers said a "birdie wins points galore, and possibly the tournament ... but failure to make par spells disaster."

Player, a nine-time major winner, described the game's appeal by thinking back to his days at the Masters, a tournament he won three times.

"You are standing in the middle of the 18th fairway at Augusta National tied for the lead. What do you do? Do you go for the pin? If you it hit it right you make birdie and win. If you don't, you make bogey and lose," Player said. "Risk versus reward — one of the toughest decisions a champion has to make."

Can you imagine how many meetings this would take the PGA Tour VP core to wrap their heads around before another series of meetings to water it down enough that it resembles 72-holes of stroke play?
