PGA Tour, Acushnet release statements in response to USGA, R&A news about proposal to roll back the golf ball

“We will continue our own extensive independent analysis of the topic and will collaborate with the USGA and The R&A.”

The PGA Tour released a statement in response to Tuesday’s announcement from the USGA and R&A about the proposal to roll back the golf ball for elite golfers come 2026.

The game’s governing bodies plan to reduce distance at elite levels by altering the tests that must be passed for any ball to be deemed conforming to the rules. By increasing robotic testing speeds and altering other test parameters, the governing bodies effectively will require a slower, shorter golf ball to comply with the Model Local Rule. It will then be up to any event or tour to adopt the Model Local Rule.

The PGA Tour’s response states: “We continue to work closely with the USGA and The R&A on a range of initiatives, including the topic of distance. Regarding the Notice to Manufacturers announced today, we will continue our own extensive independent analysis of the topic and will collaborate with the USGA and The R&A, along with our membership and industry partners, to evaluate and provide feedback on this proposal. The Tour remains committed to ensuring any future solutions identified benefit the game as a whole, without negatively impacting the Tour, its players or our fans’ enjoyment of our sport.”

Manufacturers and golf stakeholders can provide feedback on the proposed changes until Aug. 14, 2023. If adopted, the proposal would take effect on Jan 1, 2026.

Acushnet, which produces Titleist and FootJoy equipment, also released a statement, saying this bifurcation would divide golf between elite and recreational play, add confusion and break the linkage that is part of the game’s enduring fabric.

“Playing by a unified set of rules is an essential part of the game’s allure, contributes to its global understanding and appeal, and eliminates the inconsistency and instability that would come from multiple sets of equipment standards,” said David Maher, president and CEO of Acushnet. “Unification is a powerfully positive force in the game, and we believe that equipment bifurcation would be detrimental to golf’s long-term well-being. As a result, we will actively participate in this conversation with the governing bodies, worldwide professional tours, PGA Professional organizations, amateur associations and federations, and golfers, in an effort to contribute to the continued enjoyment and growth of the game.”

If the testing changes are approved, equipment makers will need to make balls for elite players that meet one set of testing standards and make different balls that meet the current set of testing standards for club players.

Although these proposed changes aren’t yet approved, they could signal a large shift in the way professional golf is played and viewed.

Sportsbooks cleaned up after Georgia comfortably covers spread against Tennessee

Sportsbooks were the real winners Saturday.

Sportsbooks are going to be sending Uga a fresh box of Milkbones after Georgia’s big win over Tennessee.

With a 27-13 victory, the Bulldogs covered the spread (-9.5) with ease after betters placed a lot of faith in the underdog Vols to get the win during Saturday’s big rivalry game.

Tennessee will undoubtedly be a short-lived No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings after the team was dispatched in Athens. Vegas gave Georgia the nod in the initial odds, and it looks like the Vols just couldn’t close the deal on pulling off the relative upset.

The statistics here on just how well sportsbooks did will surprise you.

While Tennessee can still make a convincing case for a College Football Playoff spot, it’ll be tough for any team to take away the No. 1 spot from Georgia.

At present, the Bulldogs are on track to represent the SEC East in the SEC Championship.

Nextiles coats fabric threads with those various materials, sewing them into standard garments and creating what Sun terms “highways” of conductivity that retain full ranges of movement and flexibility. They then relay real-time information to a nearby CPU. One example is a portable, fabric-based form of force plate that Nextiles featured in Las Vegas. Laid out under an athlete’s feet, the surface can be placed anywhere — and it tracks some impressive metrics simply though sewn-in fabrics, including jump height and time in the air; force, impulse and power of the jump; symmetry between legs; and forces applied at different phases of the jump.
