David Feherty is not satisfied with USGA, R&A proposing a plan to roll back golf ball for elite players. There are a lot of worries over this from Feherty, and he wonders what will happen to golf if it goes this way. “I’m worried about the ruling bodies doing something to the golf ball,” Feherty said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com Feherty believes that these things will affect the top players at LIV Golf and that it will probably have a negative influence on the way they play their game in the future.
“It occurs to me to wonder how a change back to a slower ball would affect our players at LIV. Will Bryson’s head explode? Will DJ’s beard fall off? Will Cam’s mullet melt?” Quite a number of people wonder whether or not such proposals will be accepted and implemented in the near future.
It is unlikely that this will actually happen, which is what many golf fans as well as professional players are hoping for. Feherty is not optimistic about it actually happening. “I don’t think so. And in fact, I doubt even that we’ll adopt the proposed change.
We’re ‘golf, but louder’, so ‘golf, but shorter’ doesn’t really fit in the wheelhouse.”
Changes
In spite of this, there is still a chance that this may actually happen, and the question is how the players will be affected as a result.
“But if the golf, but quieter chaps, which is everyone but us, do adopt it, then our players will suddenly find themselves having to get used to a duller pellet the week before a Major, or at least I think that’s what they’d have to do this week rather than just to go into The Masters cold turkey.” Over the past year, there have been many changes occurring within the golf world. Some have brought positive and some negative consequences.
