how crazy would it sound if each pitcher used a different ball in baseball?

This isn’t baseball. Let’s not compare apples and kiwi’s.how crazy would it sound if each pitcher used a different ball in baseball?
I’ll be honest, I think they’re being #olds and they’re simply afraid of how far Bryson is going to take this. Which even as a non Bryson fan is total abs absolute horse ****. They’re so out of touch it’s insane.What is an appropriate distance for players to hit, and how is that determined? Players are hitting it only marginally further than the last 50 years historically.
I fail to understand what the ‘problem’ is, as it has not been well defined. I don’t understand how it is a problem for golf, or how this actually helps the game.
All of this ^^^^^, but particularly the first: Can somebody explain, in twenty-five words or less, just what is the "problem" they're trying to solve?I fail to understand what the ‘problem’ is, as it has not been well defined.

Srsly?I’ll be honest, I think they’re being #olds and they’re simply afraid of how far Bryson is going to take this. Which even as a non Bryson fan is total abs absolute horse ****. They’re so out of touch it’s insane.

I mean we can compare the two, in similar scenarios (where a ball is shared). In alt-shot, players are not allowed to alter the ball for their shot - they must use the one that has been put into play.This isn’t baseball. Let’s not compare apples and kiwi’s.
The USGA is just doing the PGA Tour's dirty work and it's pathetic.I’ll be honest, I think they’re being #olds and they’re simply afraid of how far Bryson is going to take this. Which even as a non Bryson fan is total abs absolute horse ****. They’re so out of touch it’s insane.
You’re a smart man.I mean we can compare the two, in similar scenarios (where a ball is shared). In alt-shot, players are not allowed to alter the ball for their shot - they must use the one that has been put into play.
And, if we really want to get granular, players are required to use the same ball once it is put in play. Which is actually quite a bit different from baseball, where they change balls after every dirt ball, foul ball, etc.
So technically, the rules are the same (with probably tighter tolerances).
They’re so out of touch and afraid of change it’s staggering.The USGA is just doing the PGA Tour's dirty work and it's pathetic.
That is my hope, and if history serves, it should take them YEARS to actually change anything.So is this something that the USGA and R&A would do while the season is underway? Or is this their "we're going to do something about distance... sometime in the future" answer and they'll drag their feet?
Jack Nicklaus is bad for golf.They’re so out of touch and afraid of change it’s staggering.
This is the direct consequence of a bunch of uppity old men being outdriven by their sons and son-in-law’s.
Well, it looks like it’s coming.
It’s being reported that the sanctioning bodies are floating changing ball and driver testing as well as limiting driver length to 46”.
Of note, it’s being said it would be up to the events to decide to enforce or not? Local rules?
Thougts? Who sues first?
Huh?I mean we can compare the two, in similar scenarios (where a ball is shared). In alt-shot, players are not allowed to alter the ball for their shot - they must use the one that has been put into play.

Because that’s the instance where the same ball is in play for golf. Though with baseball any time the ball hits the ground and has a “scuff” they replace it, so it’s still apples to kiwi.Huh?
You lost me at alt-shot is more like baseball
Sorry, I didn't realize baseball players got on base and continued to hit until they scored a run.Huh?

At least we agree on something: baseball is nothing like golfhitting a baseball is nothing like golf.
obviously baseball is a different sport than golf.
pitching at least has some of the same fundamental. One dude, one ball, trying to control speed/spin/location. That was the comparison.....every pitcher uses the same ball. I'd bet changing the cover, stitching, internals could suit some pitchers much better.
