Asking for a friend

To the guy who sets up the tournaments.

Just once, before I die, could you do this:

1. Same course, same conditions for every round. Especially when you use a new course that no one has played. The top ten will win anyway, so you're not giving anything away, just letting people play golf, and learn the course instead of trying to figure out how every little bounce will go on 4 different setups. I don't care if its hard/hard stimp 14 for all rounds, just leave it the same.

2. Stop putting pins 20 feet behind a bunker when you have hard greens. The top ten has figured out (hahaha) how to stop the ball on those conditions, but the rest of us are going to have 40 ft putt every time.

I will honor your #1 request this week with a caveat. There will be 2 sets of Tees used.

Your #2 request is up to where the designer has placed them. And I will not use the same pins in multiple rounds, as pins get changed every day on courses.

Good Luck.
