Some Not Happy With Augusta National

Gary Player and Arnold Palmer have disapproved for years the lengthening of the Augusta National golf course and now Jack Nicklaus has said in the April issue of Golf Digest that he hated the latest change in the Augusta golf course. The course has been lengthened by 155 yards, putting the home of the Masters at 7445 yards.

Nicklaus went on to say they've ruined it form a tournament standpoint.

Since 1997 Augusta National has been lengthened 520 yards. Nicklaus went on to say he believes in technology, but for the amateur golfer, I'm a great believer in seeing them develop clubs and balls that go a long way and having lots of fun. He says the trouble is we're wasting money. Course like Augusta, are making their courses long and spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the changes and it is unnecessary.
