My opinion is growing the rough is missing the point. Holes like the 18th at st andrews, the current distance make this a 3 wood par 3, even if you manufactured a 5 yard wide fairway with 2 foor rough, its still not playing anything like how it was (i.e an easy drive, and a wedge off a hilly lie to a hard slopey green). If you just grow the rough, the game becomes even more one dimensional. Drive as far as you can, hack it near the green....
