Luc_Van_Daele The skill level of players increased, you can't roll back.
I think that the "skill level" of players only goes as high as it needs. Like the old saying for people (workers) in America,,,, "Only jump as high as the next hurdle".
Then you look at Gene Sarazen, 1935, the second Masters he goes at the green on 15 with a 4 wood.. Wooden, and holes it, going on to victory.
Players hitting 7 irons today, 260 yards.... Nobody has matched Sarazen's feat.
