💡 The Power of 'Better' (Comparing Things)
In the text, the USGA wants to make the course better. This is a special word. We don't say "more good," we say better.
How it works:
- Hard → Harder
- Soft → Softer
- Wide → Wider
- Good → Better
Examples from the story:
- The paths are now wider (more width).
- The grass is now softer (less hard).
- The USGA wants the course to be better (higher quality).
