One of the things Keegan Bradley has done during the offseason is test golf balls. Srixon made him a special set of balls. They were of the potential rollback variety.
The proposed rollback of the golf ball by the R&A and USGA is now moving to its next, and perhaps most definitive – and potentially most contentious – stage.
Keegan Bradley prefaced his remarks by saying he’s got a “really strange relationship” with the USGA after the governing body, along with the R&A, changed golf’s anchoring rules a decade ago that kept him from using the belly putter he started his pro career.
Golf’s ruling bodies continued their stated intention to curtail driving distance with an announcement Thursday that if adopted as an equipment rule by the R&A and USGA very likely would make nearly every current golf ball played on tour nonconforming.
