This has nothing to do with Links truly, more the IRL Pro Tour. I understand the PGA is trying to figure out what to do about equipment since it's getting harder and harder to make courses longer.
I actually sent them what I think ought to be one part of the solution. At say the 300 yard mark on several of the par 4s and par 5s, simply let the rough grow substantially beyond that mark. If you want to it it like Bryson, you better hit it straight or there's a price to pay. Short hitters simply have longer approach shots.
Just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion... if you don't have anything better to do.
