The thick roughs don't bother me, but the rock hard greens were just no fun to watch.

I agree with that, in part. I do like to see the professionals struggle a little, and I do like it when underdogs do well, but I also like to see everyone playing their best. Thats' the funny thing about golf though. That Tiger can win a championship one week and miss the cut on the next. Being a fan and follower of Canadian Mike Weir, I know what it's like to follow a worst to first to worst golfer. I like some consistency, and I think that if you're the best at the sport you should always be able to make a good showing almost every time.
