Did you SEE what happened to Jerry Pate on Sunday? Good god, gag me with a mashie-niblick! What a CHOKE job! The three footer to win, wasn’t just missed, he MISSED THE HOLE! And the 8-footer “free look or go home” on the 1st playoff hole was ATROCIOUS! Man is golf cruel! I am a Jerry Pate fan, so I was bummed to see it. Also, his caddy taking the 5-iron out of his hands on the 72nd hole to “lay up” a 185 shot was the most insane thing ever. This is the same Jerry Pate who RIPPED a 5-iron to 2-feet in 1976 to win the US Open at Atlanta Athletic Club? Sheesh. If you heard the exchange on TV, Pate’s talking yardage “so we got 180 carry, 185 to the flag” and then his caddy mumbles and Pate annoyingly says “so what do you want me to do, lay up?” Pate should have fired his caddy on the spot and said, “look here douchebag, I may be coming off a 20 year layoff because of a bum shoulder, but I’m NOT laying up from 185! Water in front? Who cares? I’m still Jerry F’ing Pate!” He sticks the 5-iron in there to 15 feet, rips the bag away from his donkey caddy, and then walks up the 18th fairway to a standing ovation with his heavy Tour bag on that once bum shoulder. Oh well. Meet Chip Beck. He laid up once also. How did that work out for him?

I too would fire my caddy!!!!!!! What a choker. That's why I like Tiger. He plays golf for moments like this, hones his skills just in case he ever needed to play a particular shot, and never chokes when the moment arrives. You got to give him credit for that. Fortune favours the brave.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      But what about the guys on that other forum who are all hitting it like 405? .... For them that's going to take 20 yards! 🤣 Seriously though, I heard like most of the balls sold today are already compliant. So, if you are using one of those (as I think I am), there will very literally be no difference.

      Yea, I think something like 5% to start out with is good. See how that works out.  Majority of people are not playing PGA tour courses, so I doubt they will feel bad for clubbing up one club on their approach shots.

      I'll be pretty quick in saying that I was against the roll-back when they were talking about 20% or even 10%. I didn't think it was necessary to regulate the entire game based on the top 0.1%. I was also (and remain) against bifurcation, as it harms everyone just below the line striving to get to the point above the line. But this is like a 4% rollback, and it relieves some stress from courses and people and finances… without really affecting 95% of golfers much at all… so yeah, shut up. It's fine. People watching aren't able to tell the difference between a 330-yard tee shot and a 315-yard tee shot.

      This is an interesting article - it seems like the PGA Tour is going to come out against the rollback: PGA Tour quietly testing golf ball rollback: What do players think? The PGA of America isn’t the only governing body that may be in opposition to the USGA and R&A’s plan for a golf ball rollback. Brian Harman has some interesting and smart quotes in there that mirror what rollback-skeptic people have been saying. But I want to dunk on Lucas Glover: The NBA moved the 3 point line twice in the 90s. The NCAA moved the 3 point line twice in the past 20 years (the last time was for the 2019-20 season). College football narrowed the goal posts in 1991. And the NFL pushed back the extra point in 2015 because kickers weren't missing extra points. Beyond those specific points, sports make rule changes all the time to make the sport better. Baseball is an obvious, recent example. Hockey did things like eliminate the two line pass fairly recently. Soccer had a huge change in 1992 when it eliminated the back pass. So that's pretty ignorant and stupid. But this is even worse: Are you f***ing kidding me? You make millions for hitting a tiny ball in on a grass field. Boo f***ing who.
