LOL, I mean UP not down! ahahah
I just picture someone like tim duncan tring to play golf and because he is 7' I don't think he would be able to hit a driver cause he is so tall. Even chara.. any thoughts? can they have their irons be as long as they want? If so, these taller guys (geoff) would be able to bomb it with every club because of the bigger swing arc? no?

A taller golfer (even one that uses standard length clubs, such as Geoff) will have a definite mechanical advantage...this is balanced by the increased chance of an error. Being a degree or two off at 5'10" means being say 1/4" off of centre. At 6'5" this same degree means even farther off centre. If someone had actual #s it would be great, but suffice it to say, being very tall is not an advantage in golf.
And no, it's not an excuse I use myself. Any demonstration of suckitude is not blamed on heght.

At least you are an honest golfer. Surprising to say the least, usually a golfer will blame everything but themselves for poor shots.

Heh, true enough. If I start blaming height, whatever, for my mistakes then how can I take credit for the times I bomb one out there?
