Just had a brain movement!
It has to do with the trouble that golf course makers are having with all those pros who are hitting the golf ball further and further and further. The tees can only be pushed back so far. And let’s be honest, we can’t have 300 yard par threes and five hundred yard par fours; it’s just not right.
So what’s the solution? It’s really rather simple and, though I say it myself, it’s somewhat brilliant; Simply do away with the tee peg. When you think about it, the tee peg is really a bit of an oddity in a game where we’re expected to play out of divots and hit plugged balls in the rough. Why should we (or maybe just those long hitting pros) be able to cheat the golf course with such a yardage enhancer.
