@WelsbyElton Great statement- so true

We are in need of a new 'Voice of Golf'. There was Henry Longhurst,Peter Alliss and Ewen. Someone needs to step up.

@kclairerogers Who’s have thought that Aaron would be the major winner

This is pretty cool. Aaron Rai and Colin Montgomerie in 2000.

@GolfloverUK -7 outright by 2

I have it -7/8 playoff -9 outright

@jerichsen66 @ClassicSwingX Like anything- money!! It’s all about killing used equipment- ie lake balls and clubs So oem make money. Cannot believe how so few of us can see through this plan.

@mykobi @ClassicSwingX Thus is what is should have been but OEM'S convinced the golf public that bifurcation was evil. How equipment manufacturers got this level of influence is crazy. Its like putting foxes in charge of the henhouse...

So, Cam’s ball would conform to the proposed “shorter ball” rule. He still drove it 375 on 18 at the Player’s. Am I the only one that thinks the shorter ball won’t make a damn bit of difference?

@bagshaw2112 Bless this house?

Can anyone remember the name of this #tv programme . A really funny programme !! Brilliant in the 70s

@ClassicSwingX @jimrostel Club head size, tee height and bag set up- two woods , max loft 56 and putter shortest club leave am golf alone. Allie anchoring. Pro rules differ anyway as does equipment standards.

@jimrostel Those reductions will be erased by speed training. I’m just saying I don’t think it is the answer they think it is.

@jerichsen66 @ClassicSwingX Or just change driver and bag set up for pros as they are the 0.0002% and leave am golf alone. Handicaps are same average as 2005 according to whs and ghin so game hard enough and had a resurgence.solving a non existent problem fir majority.

@ClassicSwingX Which is why ball and driver needs rolling back...if we want the rollback to have any impact 👍

@ewenmurray77 Preferred it with trees tbh

Interesting Leaderboard at the PGA. First four just now, all different nationalities. Good first day so far.

@DaveLynndawg Didn’t Paul Casey finish 2nd after you? That 2nd was mint and like a win

Uspga week, always reminds me of 2012 kiawah island, RU on my own, a very fond memory. What’s mad though is I’m the highest placed Englishman in that tournament in 107 yrs, get your head round that, a quiz question no one would ever get right haha, play well boys

@_raymondwill 100 % yes to this and it could be the movable feast in golfing calendar depending on venue.

The PGA Championship should be the "Global" major. Every year, a new country. It would become arguably the biggest and most-viewed golf event each year...

@thwacknicklaus Agree

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.

@IWoosnam @montypro Well it is Woos. Hoping Liv would buy it and make it the great equivalent to pgat but with more interesting venues than samey diet we see most weeks.

Amazing that the DP tour loses the very best 10 players every year and weakening the DP tour How does the DP tour bring in sponsorship for tournaments when losing them players What really is the DP tour now I see it has a feeder tour for the PGA tour ? Wow 😡

@TourSwingsTommy More conventional now

Interesting to watch him get less and less “Furyk-esque” each year. Somewhere around 2020 he begins to look fairly orthodox.

@necky_fade Pretty much. He smoked that guy about 50 from the tee. Remember the lady golfer doing that?

1992 PGA Championship Bellerive Country Club Tom Kite wipes out a spectator with his tee shot off the 11th Is this the worst shot from a quality golfer in Major Championship history?

@BradHersack @TheGolfDivoTee And nearly in 77!

@TheGolfDivoTee Lou Graham won the 1975 US Open

I won 6 times on the PGA Tour including a major - But who am I? P.S. And if anyone says Jumbo Osaki I'll block 'em!

@footballhq @teamof1985UTFT All!

Admit it.. YOU’VE PLAYED AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE WITH ONE OF THESE.. 👀

@Luke_Elvy Free Wesley

Phil Mickelson continues to be vindicated every change the PGAT makes. His influence over the game has been more pronounced as time goes by.

@montypro Psvin had a stamp on his like that

Oh look. An ACTUAL " blade " putter ....😉😉✨️💯🌟

@otokyo__ M torture instrument

I said it’s a cheese grater, but it’s not. Any guess?!?!

@jamierkennedy In that Nick too😎 found a Wilson LD last week on the perimeter of my course picking up range balls that had been wacked out

You know you’re playing an old links when you find one of these…
