Wishing I was golfing now
"John Solheim, chairman & CEO of Ping, thinks he has an idea for the golf ball distance "problem."
In short, Solheim believes that balls should be like the different tee boxes on a course. Solheim's proposal seek a rule change from just one overall distance standard for all balls to a "ball distance rating," that would include three types of balls. The three balls include one that is the same as today's current balls, a second ball that is 30 yards longer and a third ball that is 30 yards shorter than current balls. Golf courses, tournaments, tours and even individual players could choose their ball based on the course they're playing or the skill level of the players in the event.
What do you guys think?
