Some interesting points there and quite a few I agree with.
It's like many sports where professionalism has resulted in pluses and minuses - but a sanitization of the action in many aspects. We won't get another WW3 that's for sure.
Off the cuff stuff is often frowned on by most coaches but there's a lot to be said for it, and a lot of that comes down to playing what you see in front of you.
Langer, John Woods, Davies and Briers spring to mind.
