The funny thing is, golf has indeed become easier to a ridiculous extent but no one is out there saying the hole should be made smaller. On the contrary the powers that be seem to be rooting on technology trampling the game and making its great courses irrelevant.
Meanwhile, here in the pool...
It is so cringy to hear 400-500 level players talk about how important tight pockets are for one pocket. BS.
People here slurp the Danny D vs Ronnie Allen vintage match, talking about how that was real pool played by real men, and that sure wasn’t on tight pockets.

Typical for most AI pimpers nowadays. They say it is epic, generational, incredible, never seen anything like it. Then you point out the obvious flaws and the response is it’s early, that’s a difficult problem, we’re working on it.
This is not true. Occasionally you used to see tiny cups on practice putting greens but those have faded away completely. Pros do not practice in conditions that are unlike the real thing.
"any gains she might have on the tactical side might also detract from her fluid and refined offense, by causing her to overthink and get out of her rhythm."
