"NEW" Course layouts

I absolutely hate these (and I use the term loosely) "golf" course layouts this year. Just tell me, what is wrong with the best players on the planet shooting below par? Is this some secret Nicklaus created plot to make him think he was better? Let these guys play for God's sake. I mean the Yankees still play (this year) at Yankee stadium. They haven't moved the fences back due to the new maple bats and juiced up balls have they? Modern baseball parks are still pretty much the same distances to the fence. And why? What if there were way fewer home runs? No one would come anymore. They haven't lenthened the NFL football stadiums have they due to quarterbacks with stronger arms? Or made the basketball rims smaller so it's harder to make a 3-pointer. It would be a disaster to change the playing fields. This is how I feel about these golf course layouts. I don't even want to watch anymore. It's painful to see these great players shooting triple bogeys on every other hole. Skill doesn't win these tournaments. Luck does. No more Arnold Palmer like "charges". No one can on these rotten excuses for golf courses.
