At what cost? How many $$$ per yard. #fixtheball How many tees are now on other courses surrounding the Old Course?
Played with these two blokes 45 years ago. On 12 They drove it 20 yards further than they ever did when at their best. #Fixtheball
@4golfonline Time to #FixTheBall , revisit driver CoR, shaft length max & reduce driver head size too. #RollbackAlliance
...but his attempts to form a convincing argument against a shorter, spinnier ball or smaller driverheads are...unconvincing.

@GolfDigest @b_dechambeau Bryson will be hitting wedge into 13 at Augusta... they are preparing to extend the tee back further next year if the USGA and R&A don’t start reeling in the equipment

“The whole point of the ball debate is to preserve a balance between the different skills that constitute golf.” – One of golf's greatest minds and best ever architects, Tom Doak, 2010 #RollbackAlliance #FixTheBall
@Fooch1993 The ball goes too far Fooch, and modern drivers compound it. Westy has been playing majors for 20+ years & said this in his post-round press conference. Ground firmness has little to do with it. #FixTheBall
JT is 5’10” 165lbs. On the 495y 8th hole at Winged Foot he hits driver gap wedge over the back. The equipment is now so far out of scale with the arena it isn’t funny. Anyone tells you otherwise has no idea what they’re talking about. #FixTheBall
"… the fetish of distance is worshipped entirely too often and there should be a quick end to it." – A.W. Tillinghast. The man who gave us Winged Foot, the course for this week's @usopengolf . #FixTheBall #RollbackAlliance
@laz_versalles @mikeclaytongolf @LouStagner Definitely possible to drive it a long way with steel shaft, persimmon head driver & today’s ball. Two years ago, Dustin Johnson hit Jack Nicklaus’ driver 290y. #FixTheBall #Rollback
"In my career, it’s gone from 300yards was a massive hit, to you’re a shorter hitter on Tour now, legitimately short. It’s changed the way we play great golf courses and that is the crime." – '06 US Open Champion at Winged Foot, Geoff Ogilvy. #RollbackAlliance #FixTheBall
@chambleebrandel @GregChalmersPGA And... Greg Chalmers is hitting the ball further than he ever has at aged 47... #FixTheBall
"In tennis they slowed the ball down. I think we need to do the same in golf." - @frank_nobilo knows. Golf tech has gone too far. #RollbackAlliance #FixTheBall
"I don't believe players are hitting the ball greater distances because they're better athletes. The truth is, pro golfers are longer today because of the equipment." - Pete Dye, 2001. Tech has gone too far. #RollbackAlliance #FixTheBall
I am a member at Belleair CC and it’s Florida’s first golf course. 36 holes on intercoastal by Donald Ross. EST.1897.. It an amazing place but we cannot just add 500yards to accommodate today’s ball. #fixtheball
#TellMeImWrong The golf ball goes too damn far!!
"The only objection I can see to limiting the flight of the ball is a purely temporary one." - Dr. Alister MacKenzie - the genius who brought you the course for this week's @PresidentsCup - #FixTheBall #RollbackAlliance
"Make the ball spin more & lower the maximum size of a driver clubhead. A ball that spins more will not only carry less distance it will spin left and right more, which then brings some excitement back" - @BrendanJames2 - @GolfAustMag #FixTheBall #LessThan300cc
"This eye-catching long-hitting trend caused by new balls & clubs as well as stronger players, swing instruction and modern agronomy is more easily corrected by just shortening the ball." - Bill Campbell, 2003. Past captain @RandA & past @USGA president #FixTheBall
"The question of the limitation of the golf ball's power seems once more to be coming into the realm of realities" - Bernard Darwin, 1923. Nearly 100 years on, could the impending Distance Insights Project Report from the @RandA & @USGA finally #FixTheBall
