Wannamoisett Must Go!
/Who cares if charming old Wannamoisett has hosted the Northeast Amateur for almost fifty years and has produced a wide array of champions.
Looking at the scores and Ryan Herrington's Golf World Monday write about about the record low scoring by Peter Uihlein and the field, it's clearly time for next year's 50th anniversary to usher in a longer slog of a course that can cope with all the gym time allowing these young lads to overpower once challenging layouts.
Just kidding!
Seriously, at what point do elite players start realizing (if ever) that they are playing in an era that will be slapped with a big asterisk? I wonder if they ever get a sense that bomb-and-gouge is a less satisfying version of the game, particularly on courses like Wannamoisett which are no longer unable to pose interesting strategic dilemmas and a genuine test of their skill?
