Could a 'lesser important' tour event be the key to solving golf's distance debate? We discuss the idea of using a live tournament to test the effects of a distance rollback and other equipment changes for everyone to see.
Transcript
00:00surely to god we can bin off one of the lesser important tour events or a dead week on tour
00:06yeah right everybody what we want to do here because this is hugely important for the future
00:11of our game we're going to have a four-day tournament we're going to put some theories
00:14to the test because we need to see what this is going to be like at tournament level to work
00:18out
00:19with a bifurcation i can never say that bifurcation that's it um is the way forward or not um we
00:25want
00:25to see on the playing field here what effect a rollback has to scores on golf course we want to
00:32see what effect this has on certain player types like does it affect the shorter hitters more does
00:37it affect the longer hitters more does it affect no one does it affect everyone we can test all this
00:42stuff out and then on day two we're going to go with limiting the driver head size to 200 cc's
00:47on
00:47day three we're going to go with a rollback and limiting the driver heads or we're going to mix
00:52it on day four everyone's going to do recreational drugs before they go out and we'll just see what
00:56happens and we can all have it and what drugs aside we what a spectacle that would be to watch
01:01for the general public a you feel included in the process you can see the working that's the killer
01:07of the minute yeah well we just get all these noises from people like roll up who i do like
01:11but lots
01:11of talking heads telling me something's coming this is what's going to happen zero evidence of what's
01:15actually happening to anybody but people are forgetting this is our game this is our game as well as
01:19their game just because they're in in high up positions within the game at the point like this
01:24this affects everyone so why should we not find a way of having a dress rehearsal like i think i
01:30put
01:30in that article you don't get top end comedians just rocking up at the london palladium bashing out
01:35some jokes they've been through all their little rubbish gigs in pubs trying out material yeah that
01:39didn't work but so we could eventually essentially get to the golfing equivalent of turning up at the
01:44london palladium with a dad joke that just doesn't land you've got you've got to have tested we could
01:49can we we've got we've tested this stuff why would we not test this stuff out when we've got the
01:54opportunity to do it before making a grave error
