Technology has been great for the game. More people enjoy playing, more people have the opportunity to play, and more great courses are being built. The public can't get a ball custom made like Tiger can, but we have access to the same technology the pros have. I do have a problem with what many companies try to pass off as technology. They feel the need to offer something new every year, so they change paint color, come up with a new name, or come up with a new material. Most of what the major companies call technology is just a way to get someone to buy new clubs every year. All companies have reached the limit of how fast a ball can spring off the driver.
Having all the options we have today in equipment is great, but people get too caught up in how far they hit the ball and don't pay attention to how enjoyable it is to hit the ball. I personally pick equipment that feels good, and rewards me when I make a good swing. In the end it is about what we put into our game that determines what we get out of it. Technology will not make anyones swing better, putt the ball straighter, or get someone on tour that doesn't deserve it.
