changing the golf ball would be the right solution

by Kyle
changing the golf ball wouldnt work because it wold just set EVERYONE back 50 yards not just bubba everyone would be set back yards. what needs to happen in 350 yards down the middle of the fairway the fairway needs to be skinier with thick rough forcing the long long hitters o lay up with the shorter hitters.
if you change the golf ball everyone will be set back 50 yards the average our pro would then be 250yards and bubbas will be 300 that wouldnt solve anything hes still head and shoulders abouve the field

I expect you to sound like a fool.
I'm 37 years of age, hold two course records, and have been shooting 66 since I was 16 years old. Oh, by the way, I am also a hell of a lot better golfer than you.
Golfclubs are now designed for any 'want-to-be' with a cigar in his mouth to hit it 275.
breaking 80 used to mean that a golfer made a real commitment of blood, sweat and tears. Most golfers in the 1970's used to quit after 6 months.
98 percent of today's golfers still suck, regardless of their eqipment.
The ones that think they are good, and score between 75 & 79, actually couldn't break 90 playing PW through 1ron, persimmon woods, and a bullseye. "Do you even know what a Bullseye is?"
Its simple, hitting a ball has been made so easy, that big oaffs with ugly swings can score well.
The art of playing golf is almost gone, and just as few people who would know what it looked like if they saw it.
Yes, you are one of those clueless golfers.
I bet you also think Barry Bonds is better than Willie Mays.

Good on ya, Wolf
Im a 55 yr old hacker who took up the game 4 years ago. I love the game and the technology that helps me hit the occasional 250 yd drive and spin a lob to the green. I'd have loved to play with Old Tom, but that ain't going to happen, and I look forward to playing with 'Bubba' in Myrtle Beach in June.

Seve is a real first-cladd D**K! He should gfo back to sticking his head in the sand. Just because he won a few majors, now he thinks he represents the world governing body of golf. I was with Seve recently at an international event in Asia, and boy was he an asshole! Number One Asshole. He walked around not talking to fans, not signing anything, just pretending to look right past his fans. He needs a reality check. Happy to see that he has no game left at all!

Ya know what?, I NEVER post comments to articles that I read online, but this is an exception. I just read the article on Steve Ballesteros wanting to make drastic changes to golf because the pros seem to be getting too good for the game as it now stands. I truly think he needs a reality check. The reason they are getting better is not necessarily the equipment or the length of the courses; it's because golf is finally starting to attact REAL athletes to the game. Not the walking heart attacks of years past. The folks on tour (both the PGA and LPGA) are employeeing weight training, running,swimming, and any other sporting activity they can to get more fit for the game. Also, the pro golfers Mr. Ballesteros is talking about, are an extreamly small percentage of all the golfers out there. Not everyone can hit 400 yard drives. I would like to remind him that for the 20 million + golfers in the US, the equipment and the courses out there currently, are making it more enjoyable for us all. He remembers US right?, you know, the people that buy all the equipment, take all the golf trips, pay for all the lessons, and watch all the events on TV and in person. We are the reason HE and all the other pros out there have a job. So, yes Mr. Ballesteros, please make rules to change the equipment and courses that are making it fun for all us hackers out there to finally really enjoy the game of golf and you'll be cutting the throat of golf, which has seen unprecedented growth and popularity. We like to watch the pros rip up the golf courses they play on, it gives the 90% of us fellow golfers out there something to aspire to. Leave the rules alone Steve, the pro golfers today are simply just BETTER than you.
