I agree with magichef's assertion that the machine will be a nearly perfect driver, though. I think the key to the whole machine thing is the drive, because it's got the least variability. I think you can make a machine that drives perfectly, and then with the random variations in wind and stuff it'll be taking on short putts that have less variability. I think that if America put their minds on it like we did with the moon landings, we could build a machine that beats Rory McIlroy 9 times out of 10.
