Listened to the first little bit. Dan sounds like a great weekend round haha. Been there man.

I would totally hit into Dan.

I think it would take me two shots to hit into his drive. He’d know I was trying. I do not get the aforementioned 20%
 
Haven't even finished downloading it, but yes. Jack is full of it.
 
I am notorious for hitting into groups. I swear I don't do it on purpose, but I have come close to manslaughter.

Easy fix.
Wait for them to move passed the 200 yard bush and you are in the clear. :D
or....Just add it to the weekend totals for your city :oops:
 
I'll be listening to this on my way to get my hair cut. YAY!

You forget my uncanny ability to forget about podcasts, and then come back to fifty of them :cautious:
 
The 2019 Masters played 570 yards longer than Jack’s last Masters win in 1986. Per the PGA website, the average drive went from 262 to 295 from 86 to 18. Seems like a corresponding increase to me, no need to roll it back, sorry Jack.

Driver's need to be 320cc max. Ball needs to be rolled back.

Ball roll back is not just distance but control. I know a spinnier (skinny-IER?) ball can be made -- example Titleist makes a Pro V1 for Padraig that spins a ton -- but solid core balls are so much more consistent, I wonder how much difference it could make.
 
The conversation around Bryson is the same conversation golf has had with every new technological innovation in the game. There are historical records of correspondence to the governing bodies (including R&A) demanding stoppages to golf ball design from the feathery to gutta percha to wound. It's hysterical.
 
This tweet is also hysterical, unintentionally so.

Aside: Old-timey golf names are the best.

In this case would control mean more punishing on mishits? And would a 320cc driver impact Bryson significantly? He whacks his 3W like he’s chopping lumber and still bombs it.
 
"...sink my teeth into this and play with Adam's emotions."

:mad:

It should, in that the ball has to change as well.

But -- and this is a fair point -- some people are just BETTER at things than others, whether we're a fan of them or not.
