GET RID OF PAR AND YARDAGE, SAYS FORMER
OPEN WINNER TODD HAMILTON


Now here's a thought-provoking suggestion from Todd Hamilton - yes, the same Todd Hamilton who won the 2004 Open at Royal Troon.
The American says he would like to see only one number on the signs at every tee on any course, and that would be to identify what hole you're playing.
"Get rid of the par. Get rid of the yardage,'' he said. "Go play the course.''
Hamilton made his comment after Arnold Palmer announced that he was converting two par-5s into par-4s to make his Bay Hill course a more testing par-70 than a "easy" par 72.
