That said, the USGA can blow it with set up like last year.

Last year was the first time I enjoyed watching a golf tournament in decades.

Here is the tournament I'd like to see once in a while, and you would get to see some shots. Old golf course here or there, i.e. St Andrews there, Pinehurst/Winged Foot/Oakmont etc... here. No goofy set ups. The rough could be a little longer, but the greens stay alive. Each player gets his pick of seven clubs and must carry them himself. No caddies. No yardage books allowed. No sheets with the hole location. Any yardage markers on sprinkler heads eliminated for the tourament. Each hole would simply have the total yardage to the middle of the green. Slow play penalties strictly enforced. Do it once a year and see how it identifies the players. I think in that format the top players really would rise to the occasion. And you would see some golf shots.

Great idea. My only suggestion would be to make them tee off with 6 irons, par 3's excluded.
