Alright, players all over are complaining about the course being too long but yet it makes for more realistic scores. What I would like to see is clubs that hit farther, but are harder to hit straight. I would like to see the tour starters (most forgiveable) with the forgiveness of the Pings and everything else even less forgiveable. This could potentially make a lot of players upset because the stuttering would be an even bigger issue.
Driving: Driving in this game is simply too easy. Missing the fairway is a joke. DRIVING IS NOT AN EASY PART OF GOLF. How many times do we see Tiger not take a driver off the tee so he can increaes his percentages of putting it in the fairway? Drivers should be less forgiveable, but given longer range, thus making for shots out of the rough and keeping us from being in the fairway EVERY TIME. The top pro this year in driving accuracy is at 75% (http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/xm.html?102). I don't consider myself a top tier player and I hit 90%. Tibbets hits 94.5% of fairways.
Irons: Making irons less forgiving would keep us away from having so many scoring opportunities with fewer <15 foot putts. To make up for this, give us a bit more spin.
Short game: Putting is just fine. Short game shots overall are fine except for the utter lack of loft in the chips.
Lie: I think another factor that could be added to wind condition is the slope we are on when hitting. A right to left slope will draw the ball a bit and a left to right slope will fade the ball a bit. A down slope will give a longer shot with more roll (low trajectory) and an up slope will shorten the shot a tiny bit and give the ball a lot of bite (high trajectory). As of now, the lie we are on does not affect the shot at all. If we are on a huge up slope and chipping, the game thinks we are on flat and will just chip it into the slope.
What We Want: Golf is a challenging sport. All we want is to have a challenging game that is realistic and makes us feel like the pros. Right now we are driving the ball as far as I hit when I was 13. We want to be able to hit as far as the pros, but make everything less forgiveable. The top PGA pro is on the green in regulation only 71% of the time (http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/wm1.html?103). Meanwhile, tibbets is on 82% of the time, and many greens he can't even reach!!!
Conclusion: Give us longer range but make all clubs less forgiving laterally, except the putter.
