Peter Finch doesn't hold back his opinion on the proposed golf ball rollback, calling it 'pointless' and 'unnecessary.' Listen to his passionate take on why changing the ball for professionals is a bad idea for the sport.

00:00Not needed. Unnecessary. Bifurcation is the worst thing you can do to a sport. Just don't do it. It's pointless.
00:07What's the point? Literally, what's the point? What is the point? Explain to me what the point is.
00:12I think they're trying to bring back courses that have become redundant, aren't they? Is that a thing?
00:17We can play them still.
00:22Honestly, who cares about... I love to see these beautiful courses and I would love to see, say, the Tour
00:34Pros take on Sunningdale, for example, Sunningdale Old.
00:38Realistically, they're not going to be able to do that because it's too short. They kind of rip it apart.
00:42But at the same time, they're the best players in the world. If they do play that event and they
00:46do rip it apart, who cares?
00:48Yeah, good for them. Well done. Congratulations for being really good at golf.
00:52The score and a par is the score and a par. If everyone's there or thereabouts, it's still a close
00:56event.
00:56I said this to my friend. He was watching an event the other day in 28 and a par. I
00:59hate this. It's both so boring and tearing it apart.
01:01Well, I said to him, just in your head, change that par to a three if it makes you feel
01:07better.
01:07I get it, but there are enough great golf courses that can be adapted to the modern game.
01:14And overall, the majority of people who play are like the rest of us.
01:21It's the people who can go to these courses and still be challenged by them.
01:25So I don't really, I don't see the need to kind of roll it back.
01:29It just feels, feels pointless. Feels like a conversation which is boring as hell.
01:35And it's being had by tweeted gentlemen who are trying to protect like Rye.
