When the opportunity came along to partner with Bob and Harvey on 'Transamerica' we jumped at the chance, ...

Length is always going to get its due. Playing shorter clubs into these greens makes a huge difference, I can assure you.

I hope they never change, because they are fascinatingly complex.
