Digest on USGA Proposal

Golf Digest's Mike Stachura offers some fresh details on the USGA rollback ball letter (email actually).

Included is this solution offered by Taylor Made's Dean Snell, who thankfully does not design or set up golf courses.

"The concern is that the courses are going to be made obsolete," says Snell. "It is very easy to not have to move tees back 70 yards. Instead, give them some challenges by cutting the fairways different in that 290-320 range. If you want to try to hit it 340, you can do that, but if you don't hit it straight, then you could be in some trouble. To make a change to the golf ball and everything that would have to happen to make that work, well, that part of it is very, very tough. It's a lot easier to grow some rough."
