In 1998, golf’s ruling organisations introduced limits on the coefficient of restitution (COR) of the clubhead, after years of club manufacturers taking advantage of the fact that the spring-like effect of their clubs was not capped by ruling bodies. Any dumbing down of the game could affect its popularity - and with it, golf’s bottom line. "When you can control spin rate, you can drastically affect the performance of the ball," he adds. Every one mile per hour of increased driver club head speed adds 2.8 yards to a ball’s "carry distance" - or the amount it will fly before landing. "I bet you that in 10 or 20 years, the average club head speed will approach 120mph," he says. Shaft adaptor sleeves or hosels, which are little more than valves containing a screw that holds the club head in place in relation to the shaft, allow players to change the loft of a club, or whether it will push a ball right or left. Club technology has largely stalled, and firm rules are in place there. Almost every driver available to buy today has moveable weight plates that are meant to allow players to shift the centre of balance in their club head to improve performance.

Intermediate players can choose tees that strike a balance between challenge and enjoyment while still allowing them room for improvement. The greens rolled smooth and true, providing a fair but challenging test, while the fairways, despite being rain-soaked, were lush and well-maintained. My dad and I distinctly remember the moment he got the call, and he asked my 7-year-old self if I would be ok with cameras being around. A pretty quiet week on the Street really although the quality of acting at the moment is wonderful. Our facility and grounds are 100% solar powered, and our golf carts are quiet electric. As you hit your shots and look for the ball, you can use golf carts to navigate your distance. Rather than using the wound rubber golf balls that had been in use since the 1900s, Snell developed a multi-layer golf ball that allows for low spin on long shots from tee boxes - which prevents drag and helps the ball travel straighter and higher - and high spin on short shots around the green. Callaway Golf was designed using research from Boeing and a physics concept called "energy lensing" to redirect the brunt of the impact on the face of the club.

In swimming, performance-enhancing swimsuits coated in polyurethane to reduce drag in the water were banned in 2010 after swimmers, including multiple world-record holder Michael Phelps, smashed records using them. Even the lay-up is a risk/reward shot where players can opt to take off more of the corner to have a shorter third shot bringing the water and bunkers into play. Doan shot 7-under 137 at Hurricane Creek Country Club in Anna to win the senior event for the third year in a row. " asks Steve Low of Designer Golf, a golf club maker and fitter, who calls it "marketing BS". Today, he runs his own company, Snell Golf, which designs balls for everyday players rather than pros. But here too ball speed is throttled: Snell Golf, just like any other ball manufacturer, has to submit their prototypes to the USGA who test it to ensure it’s not too fast. It’s a similar issue to one that has affected professional athletics. Taking away long hitting scuppers the tour, shearing it of one thing that ticket holders enjoy seeing: players performing at their peak, achieving sporting feats that amateur golfers could only dream of. "In terms of the drivers, players can’t hit it any further than they’re hitting it right now because they’re all locked on the limit," he says.

Garmin X40Garmin, the go-to for tracking movement on cyclists, runners, and swimmers, now brings its technology to golfers. US/US/p/519298) combines standard activity tracking (like step counting and heart rate monitoring) with metrics for 40,000 courses worldwide. "It’s not like golf balls continue to get faster every single year," says Almeida. "This is going to be a fight between tradition and money," says Wishon. "You’re going to have the R&A and USGA saying tradition is far more important, and the PGA saying you can’t tell us we can’t make as much money, and what you’re about to do would put our revenue at threat. Adding a new tee to a bulk golf balls course further away from the hole costs on average $12,000, according to the USGA. To downplay the impact of longer hitters, it’s likely that the governing bodies will begin by introducing a new, less efficient, ball into the two major championships over which the R&A and USGA have jurisdiction: the US and British Opens. The governing bodies of the sports have already levied restrictions on technical developments, more than two decades ago. Shortly after World War I the R&A enacted what is called the "1.62 formula"-that the ball should have a maximum weight of 1.62 ounces (45.93 grams) and a minimum diameter of 1.62 inches (4.11 cm).
