The Controversy Surrounding Golf Ball Rollback: Impact on Weekend Golfers and Manufacturers

The USGA and R&A have decided to implement a golf ball rollback, changing the way the golf ball travels at all levels of the sport. As players are hitting the ball further due to physical strength and technological advancements, the ball is traveling tens of feet more after being hit. The rollback aims to address this issue by making the ball travel shorter distances. However, this decision has sparked debate, with some arguing that it will make the game more difficult for newcomers and change the way existing players play. The golf ball rollback is seen as a way to level the playing field between professional and recreational players, but critics argue that it goes against the inclusive nature of the sport.
