Get to Know the Play With Pete Invitational Pasatiempo Players: Brian Dietzen As NCIS Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jimmy Palmer, Brian can explain lividity, toxicology, and wound patterns. This will help Brian perform an autopsy on those triple-bogeys and forensic reconstruction to identify the remains of his game… if it comes to that. Early reports say Brian’s already committed to the role of “Man Betrayed by a Bunker.” Dr. Jimmy would appreciate the professionalism. Tuesday, May 19th, PWPIPasatiempo.

Why a ROLL BACK? Imagine a hole. 450yd par 4. Straight. Bunkers on each side — 275 carry from the tee. Medium rough. EVERY SINGLE MODERN TOUR PLAYER Will send it over those bunkers with driver. EVERY TIME. LEAVING SAND WEDGE IN. Now for the roll back… (read on) Imagine a reduced-sized driver head. 200CC—similar to the size of a persimmon driver. Can/will players still be able to hit it 300 yards? Sure. And they should! The difference is this: THEY CAN’T ALL DO IT EVERY TIME. It’s a harder shot, mostly because the penalty for missing just slightly (with a head that size) is: A) fairway bunker from 175 out or B) rough from the same distance SOME PLAYERS WILL STILL GO FOR IT for the following reasons: 1) they are just really good ball strikers and trust that they consistently have that shot in the bag (Rory/Scottie). 2) they’re under the gun trying to make a cut or chase someone down on Sunday and want to apply pressure. BUT MANY PLAYERS WILL LAY BACK! Why? 1) They don’t want to hit a 175 yard bunker shot or 175 shot from the rough 2) They’re more comfortable hitting a mid iron from the fairway 3) They’re just not feeling it that day. Swing is a little off (wouldn’t matter with modern driver—they’d still send it…) ESSENTIALLY, Rolling the ball back takes a simple hole and introduces many different outcomes and complexities that are essentially gone from the game right now. If Rory ships one over that bunker with a tiny club head to keep the gas pedal down on Sunday, that’s a brave and admirable shot! (b/c we now know what could happen if he misses) If another player chooses to hit 3 wood to keep it in the fairway and flags a 5 iron and makes birdie, we know what a remarkable play that was (b/c it’s more difficult that hitting a lob wedge from 103 yds out of medium rough!) To close, golf a the professional level is better when there are more outcomes, not fewer. The better players will rise to the top—those who hit the ball better or (AND THIS IS KEY) those who make better decisions. The modern game has taken most of the strategy out of professional golf. It can easily be brought back! But you have to reduce club head size to do it.

Flushing It

Cameron Young is playing with a golf ball that would allegedly be compliant with the new roll back rules that will come into effect in a few years time. He was asked about it ahead of the PGA Championship and he says every player in the game is sacrificing distance for control, and he put it in play at the Wyndham last year which he won. “I think I put it in play the same reason that everybody else plays the ball that they play. I hit it during a ball test, one of the Titleist facilities probably close to two years ago and didn't know anything about it and just kind of say, hey, what's that one? Because I liked the flight. “Then as things progressed, I was able to test it last year at Wyndham, able to put that in play, and it's been there since. “Obviously there is no conforming list. I wasn't aware that it would have -- I suppose I read something that said it passed that test, but I wasn't aware of that until very recently. “So at no point was that a consideration. It was just really me trying to optimize my golf, and it's the ball that seems to work the best for me.” He then was asked whether he lost distance with it compared to other balls he’s tested: “Not particularly. I don't think any of us are out really here playing the ball that goes the farthest. I think you'd struggle to find a single person that's doing that. We're all sacrificing a certain amount of things that we feel are worth it, control with irons, control with wedges. For me, that's the biggest thing is being able to control spin, and this is the ball that does the best for me.” Finally he can as asked whether this ball goes further than the one he was using: “No, I hit very similar, yeah. It's much more -- the driver is kind of the easiest thing to deal with, I feel like. For me to get it where it needed to be, I had to just add a little bit of spin, and it kind of comes out at a perfectly playable range. “For me, the biggest thing, like I said, is the irons. This ball is easier to control with the irons. It doesn't spin as much, and it just allows me to be better with my distance control just because it's more consistent.” The golf ball rollback has been a hugely controversial subject but Cameron Young is currently using one that’s compliant and he is playing the best golf of his career. This gives the best idea yet on what impact, or lack of it, the new rules will actually have on the sport. @PGAChampionship

Get to Know the Play With Pete Invitational Pasatiempo Players: Nick McInally A Scotsman at Pasatiempo for the first time. It’s like a product launch with dangerously high expectations. Somewhere Alister Mackenzie is smiling… nervously. A 5 handicap (probably) Nick is already mentally drafting his victory press release. Pasatiempo is still deciding if Nick survives the greens with dignity intact. Unstoppable Force meets Immovable Object next Tuesday, May 19th at PWPIPasatiempo.
