But then isn't the issue just with the course? It was designed in 1894 so maybe it's time to update it?
Since then the equipment changed, the players changed, but the course hasn't (much as I'm sure the grass has and that plays a part too).

But if they change the course, that won't affect me. I (and others like me) will never get to play at Augusta but those who do get to play, will continue playing there.
So win win?
Want people to upgrade more frequently?
