Hoping to God seems a bit dramatic for all of this.
I was suggesting the "back" tees to be played at 325 yards, not 350. Member's tees could play at or under 300 yards. I'm not in favor of altering the course (or even just this hole) for this exercise, just to consider how the hole might play and if it could provide additional excitement. Besides, if Pinehurst saw me out there with a shovel and some dirt, they might react poorly.
I hope to God every Sunday that our Priest doesn't spend over seven minutes declaring God's very existence. Dramatic is when I hope the USGA doesn't change the one thing in my life that makes me happy that much more difficult to enjoy.
I must have played a tee near 325 yards because after a perfect drive I had 100 yards in.
God is everywhere, great golf is hard to find.
