Go ahead. Take fun out of golf by preventing long, dramatic, shots. It’s not as if golf wasn’t already the most boring game on Earth, worse than baseball, worse than cricket…
So now I have another reason to change the channel when I see golf on tv.
It’s about control. If they can slam them like that and have it go the direction they want, then go at it. A longer club would be harder to control, take the length limit off.
Some of those purists were the same types who bitched that Gary Player did weight training and that players like Trevino and Palmer didn’t have the “proper” background [read country club], that is until they really began to popularize the game. Those old foofs yearn for the days of gutta percha balls, ladies having to wear long skirts and only have Mon. A.M. tee times and that no pros are allowed in the Members Dining Room. This isn’t about distance off the tee. it’s about change in training, diet and enhanced physical makeup. Most of these whiners are more than happy to cheer football, basketball and hockey players whose game easily surpasses those of the post war era, they just don’t want the supposed “purity” of their game besmirched.

If they don’t already. They should start testing them for steroids.

They’re just doing this so that Tiger Woods will never break Jack Nickalus’s record of eighteen career major victories.

I think Tank would be a great host for a Cleats television show.

The GG outfit adds to the humor on this one. The golf ball shows the level of blind obsession he has reached

Golf spelled backwards is flog.

At first I thought that was a dollar bill on his chest.
