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.
The R&A and USGA have a lot more work to do to convince PGA Tour players that a rollback of the golf ball is in their best interest or the best interest of the game overall, judging by the players’ reaction to a presentation by the governing bodies and several manufacturers Tuesday at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
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.
