The Masters Golf

The approach is allowed and he's a professional looking to maximise his gains, can't argue with that. It's just the way he carries himself, communicates and his general attitude which rubs people the wrong way.

The authorities need to review it anyway because the distance problem is just taking away the essence of the game.

There is only one way to change the game back to make these courses play like they did 20/30 years ago and that is to change the equipment. You could give them a standardised ball or reduce the club length. Its that or accept that these guys are so good that everything plays like a par 3 or 4.

I heard Radio 5 doing some stuff on him in the summer. They didn't mention this part.

I thought his approach was interesting. He has taken a vary scientific approach to the game. Basically redesigned his clubs around some scientific principles as opposed to just doing what everyone has always done. Clubs are aloud to be a certain max length, so he has been experimenting with a few at max length, then a few shorter ones with different club heads on the same lenth shaft. The idea being that you can get use to a specific length better than having every club different to the next. He is a bit cagey on the specifics as to what he uses but I give him credit for experimenting.

A friend of mine uses the one length irons, he plays off 5 and hits them well. The rationale behind the concept is that it's easier to hit clubs off 7 iron length than say 4 iron. Changes in setup aren't required either so it should make you more consistent. Getting the correct gapping between clubs is achieved by using iron heads with different lofts and ball reaction.
He's the only player I know that uses them, not my cup of tea, I think they're a bit of a blunt instrument.

Revolutionary idea.... Grow the rough thicker and make the fairways narrower around the 300 yd mark would be a start.
Players DON'T HAVE TO get the driver out everytime (some don't, I know)

Regarding De Chambeau. It all seems a little sour grapes.
People forget McIlroy, Johnson still knock it miles. Now there's a new kid on the block, a few noses are being pushed out of joint.
But, from what I know about him, he does seem to be a cock, and he's slow. I DESPISE slow golfers.

Must admit I didn't know much about him. Slow golfers are the worst.

As for others who hit it longer than everyone else - Tiger Woods was the first to really take the piss out of the course design.
