As I watched the Blue Monster gorge itself on tour players during the second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship, my initial reaction was that the course was absurdly unfair.

But then I thought about it. Unfair? Unfair would imply that someone had an advantage that no one else had. Every player was playing from the same tees, to the same plateau greens, in the same conditions. The water was there not for a select group, but for everyone to enjoy. 

Unfair, no. Punitive? Oh hell yes!

Let's go back in time shall we? In 1962, Billy Casper won the inaugural tournament at Doral with a score of 283, 5 under par, playing with equipment that we look at today and cannot fathom how in the world one could play with. The course quickly got its name because of its difficulty. The Blue Monster had teeth and a mean bite.

Fast forward to 2013, more than 51 years later when Tiger Woods wins the tournament with a total score of 269, 19 under par! During those 51 years the course hadn't really changed much.

Now, we can debate all day whether Tiger Woods is a better golfer than Billy Casper, but that would be unfair. Tiger Woods, like all tour players today (and amateur players for that matter) plays with equipment that is so technologically advanced compared to equipment in 1962.

Equipment has scientifically improved so you can hit it farther, hit it straighter, hit with less spin, hit with more spin. Every aspect of the golf swing can be dissected on high speed video and improved upon. 

So, when Donald Trump hired Gil Hanse to refresh, remodel, rebuild the Blue Monster, I believe they intended to answer the population that said the Blue Monster had lost its teeth. Recently, the Blue Monster was not only looking old and tired, but some would argue it needed a new set of dentures. 

Up until this tournament, watching tour players play the Blue Monster was like watching Grandpa gum his way through oatmeal put through a blender.

I remember watching Rory McIlroy play the US Open at Congressional in 2011, winning with a score of 14 under par and thinking, this is too easy. Not to take away from the skills of McIlroy (and he's got mad skills), but every shot seemed picture perfect, text book, and... well...easy.

Golf is the only sport that is not played on a regulation fixed size court or field. As both equipment and players get better, shouldn't the course be able to respond by getting better too? And by getter better, I mean getting harder to play.

Of the Blue Monster, Rory said "It's a frustrating golf course because you feel you should be doing so much better. It just doesn't allow you to. You have to be so precise just to get the ball close on some of these greens, with these pin positions."

Um...wait a minute. These are the top 68 golf players IN THE WORLD! This is a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. You're playing for a purse of $9 million dollars, for goodness sake! I don't want it to be easy! I want you to have to make precise shots. I want you to have to adjust your game to the punishing course and the glorious winds. I don't want to see you play ho hum golf. I want to see you strategize, grind, dig deep and work for it! 

When asked which holes are the most challenging, Tiger Woods deadpanned, "One through 18."

Should there be "easy" holes at the tour player level? Perhaps not.

Tiger shooting a 66 in the third round gave Trump ammunition for the nay-sayers. The course is playable. The course is fair. The course will test you. You just have to figure out the best way to get around it. And isn't that what golf is all about? 

Trump has more tweaks in mind for Doral! Should other courses on the PGA Tour follow suit? Is 18, 19 under par an indication that a course has become too easy for tour players? 

I would LOVE to see an LPGA event held on the Blue Monster.

Gil Hanse is designing the course for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. To win a gold medal at the Olympics, the most elite competition that exists, your skills should be truly tested. And I have a feeling they will be.
