Because a short game’s a good game. United by our concern with the changing nature of golf due to the ever-increasing influence of ball and club technology.

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.

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?

TOUR pros hit 1980s persimmon woods 👀 Calvin Peete was the most accurate in golf history with these clubs. Here are the results ⬇️

Golf has had a torpedo bat problem for 30 years, the issue is very few influential people have spoken out about it over the years the way so many baseball folks have in one week.

Baseball & golf aren’t the only sports with equipment problems. Regulatory inaction = dumbing down of sports. It’s unfortunately commonplace these days Andy. Below, Barry Richards compares his cricket bat of yesteryear with one used today.

Asked Rory if playing Philly Cricket in the rain and wind on Friday, when the ball wasn't going as far, gave him a better sense of how the golf course was meant to be played. "If the golf ball just went a little shorter, this course would be awesome."

Jack Nicklaus today on modern equipment: "I mean, the golf ball goes too far. It has gone too far for a while. Then they continue to lengthen things. But to me, lengthening only does a couple things: One, it takes longer to play. It costs more money, it costs more money, it

Powerful message about the golf ball rollback from USGA President Fred Perpall today. The further the ball goes, the more time it takes and the more it costs to build and maintain golf courses.

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“The game has been waging a battle against the inventor, and the architect has come to its assistance. The one aim of the inventor is to minimize the skill required by the game: he tries to invent something which will make skill less necessary; he appeals to the skill-less player

The same company that said we can't bifurcate the game because amateurs want to play the same equipment as the pros has a CPO "Customized Performance Option" program that is unavailable to amateurs. I think this qualifies as a bad faith argument.

Just in case you weren't paying attention, average driving distance on PGA Tour for 2025 at 303.7, up 14.1 yards from 2015. That kind of 10-year gain is reminiscent of the early 2000s. For what it's worth.
