In a moment of unity, PGA’s from around the globe have officially pushed back on the USGA's and R&A’s proposed Model Local Rule (MLR) on golf ball distance at the elite level.
In a two-page memo obtained by GolfChannel.com, PGA’s from America to New Zealand spoke in one voice against the potential rollback. “As we all know, and have discussed at length, golf is currently benefitting from a global surge in interest and participation. We fear that the proposed changes could seriously interrupt the current momentum in the game and be fundamentally damaging and detrimental in the long run,” the memo read.
