The idea, somewhat similar to a 2011 proposal from Ping’s chairman John A. Solheim, would be to tailor golf balls to golfers or courses so golfers with different distance capabilities could play together from the same tees or compete on certain courses that would play more true to their original heritage for today’s longer hitters.
Dustin Johnson didn’t just become the new World No.1 after his win at Riviera a couple weeks ago. The leap up to the top of the world rankings is a result of an ultra-impressive stretch of consistency – stretching back the past couple of years.
With a five-shot win at the Genesis Open, Dustin Johnson joined a select group of male golfers who have ascended to No.1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Call it the Dustin Johnson Rule. Overnight the R&A and USGA announced the introduction of a new local rule that effectively rescinds the penalty applied when a ball is accidentally moved on the putting green. The new rule will be available to committees in charge of competitions from January 1, 2017.
