Which is great, and its due to the fact that they room to extend ladies courses easily and cheaply, unlike for men following the distance boom twenty years ago that destroyed so many mens courses. Mens courses should be about another 800m longers typically for the pros with current equipment. But tailing back the ball 15% solves that in a better way.I never understand the need to ask a question like this. Physical strength differences mean the male and female games are different. Doesn't make the the women's game any less valid or LPGA players any less impressive - just as male pros are head and shoulders better than male ams so are the pro women well beyond us mere mortals.
On distance, though, it's worth noting that when you factor in average male/female driving distances the women play proportionately longer courses than the men.
