“100%…I would definitely go down that path.” Edoardo Molinari voices his support for shrinking the driver head 🗣️

Peter Thomson and Jack Nicklaus were already talking about the ball going too far in the mid 1990s. The ProV1 was still five years away. Also Dave Pelz, Ping, Weight Rite and Bullet Golf unsuccessfully sue the USGA.

Golf writers of the world unite. Tommy Naccarato, who lost his home in the LA fires, also lost his entire collection of golf design books, files, etc. Time to rebuild. I'm asking every golf writer to send him a signed copy of your book(s). Contact me here on DM for his address.

Andy Johnson Roll it all back.

An update on the Tom Morris statue damage in St Andrews. With the club head stolen, this is going to be an expensive fix. The club needs to re-cast and then attached to Tom's coat, so that this NEVER happens again. The gofundme page, is open for donations. If you can help, please

The R&A and USGA have been administrating competitive golf since 1754/1895, respectively. Their whole mission is to think about the future of golf. Tour pros and their stats consultants are paid to think no farther ahead than maybe the next 72 holes. Who should you trust?

Best video you'll watch this week.... Bob MacIntyre explaining to Andy Murray how he PURPOSELY tries to miss the middle of the face on certain tee shots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
