Straight-flying golf balls
I think it’s as good an idea as aluminum bats in rec leagues in baseball and softball, as it is with plastic blades that you screw onto a hockey stick, and plastic balls instead of pucks. Basically: who cares? Apparently, the USGA technical director wants everything to conform to his standards, or he’s going to mock the idea:
You know the easiest way to get the ball in the middle of the fairway? Walk down there and place it with your hand. Who are you kidding?
Everybody is the gate keeper of all that is holy of whatever little world they are involved in.
