WOXOF,
I am so glad to have read the full article, after only quickly scanning your
email. I thought you had said that R&A and USGA were making this change
based upon SOGAGG's propensity for long "putting". I know realize that you
were referring to our ability to hit the ball as far as 300+ yards off the
tee (in 1 or 2, or sometimes even 3 shots....).
Appreciate your diligence in keeping us informed of any and all proposed
changes to the sport that we all love (to hate....).
Having said that, I hope that they don't decide to disallow 3 or 4 putts per
hole......
Warmest regards,
KD

Subject: [sogagg] Distance debate in golf: R&A and USGA say long hitters
like SOGAGG are rendering courses obsolete
Some depressing Golf News. Seems the R&A and USGA have been watching the
members of SOGAGG closely and are coming to the conclusion that due to the
impressive distances we are hitting our drives with the new club and ball
technology, we are rendering
many of the great Golf Venues in the world obsolete. So they are looking
seriously at ways to ratchet down this technology and try and stop our 310+
yards average driving distance. I will say this here and now, directly to
the R&A and USGA .... there is no way you can
ever stop SOGAGG, you can only hope to contain us, and even then, you can
only hope to contain us for a very short while.
Actually this is a very reasonable and thoughtful article. Best. WOXOF (aka
TBD and Bobby )
