I guess I missed that this is going to be a 'local rule'.
I don't foresee any way they can make equipment, balls, etc. that is going to perform any better/longer than what is out there today. So, I'm thinking in that 3-year period, this rule may well be rescinded before ever getting into the book, if distances are at what they are now. I don't see the PGA going with it anyway with the pushback from the players already. (some of those players may not even be around in 3 years)

Then again, wth do I know about golf? ๐
