It's a very real thing.Haha fair enough! Yep most of the local publics in my general area are relatively tight. I do remember playing Portsea once and thinking I could never miss a fairway because you've got 100m of green carpet to work with. Obviously heaps of other challenges there though.
For example here's one of the fairways at Latrobe GC (as claustrophobic course as exists in Vic):
Compare that driving experience to say the 18th at National Gunnamatta:
I'd argue you are more likely to put a stronger, more confident swing on the Driver on the second hole rather than the first and that your accuracy will likely improve as a result.
