The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
We don't know.Sorry, I'm loads of pages behind and I don't really have time to catch up all the posts, so forgive me if this has already been answered, but..
If they limit the ball that all of us are using - how many yards lost are we actually, definitively talking for us amateurs? If I hit my drive 230 yards total, on average, how many yards will I lose? If it's like 3 or 4 then fine I guess - probably not that noticeable. If it's more like 10 or more then I'm going to be upset, as that essentially means having to hit two clubs longer into every decent length par 4.
And how on earth would they regulate it? Some guys out there now are still using balls that are 20 years old. I always use found balls for provisionals and so on - and the found balls will be the old kind for many years to come. Is every club going to have an official on the 1st tee checking your balls? (so to speak)
They haven't announced full details yet.
People are saying that the Pros may lose 20 yards which means we will too.....
I doubt that very much.
It's all speculation and at times quite rabid speculation too...
