Jack Nickels and Gary Player August Gusta call for action to close the gap
After hitting early mon formal drives at August Gusta on the first day of the 84th Masters, Jack Nickel and S and Gary Player used their legendary position to stop the ball from going there to demand action from the game’s governing body. As the underlying issue intensifies, R&A and U.S. In an impressed set of arguments that the golf association would sit and take notice, the player expressed his fear that the score would hit 500-yard drives until something was done. Nicklaus is adamant that R&A and the USGA will release a rein-back ball soon, though the claims do not know the specifications. The next phase of the R&A and USGA’s distance insight project was delayed until March due to the epidemic, but they are expected to speed up the process thereafter. Fred Ridley, chairman of The Gusta, said Wednesday: “We are optimistic from the ongoing study that we are approaching an action call.” Nickels agreed. “I think if it weren’t for Covid they might have been able to bring him back this year, or at least they would have thought about it or been serious about bringing him back,” he said. “Both the USGA and R&A have said they are serious about it. They have to make some changes with it, otherwise all the old golf courses, all the strategies and all the rest of the things you did on the golf courses are gone. It doesn’t make sense at all. ”The player went further, almost painting a revelation picture. “This is something Jack is doing and I’m advocating for how long I don’t know.” “They have to cut the ball back, and they will. Otherwise they will drive this first green vehicle at Augusta. In fact, [Bryson] De Chambue, if it weren’t for this wet weather, if it were dr, he would run it over the green, and take three pieces of wood and put them on the third green. “We are seeing things we never thought possible, and we are in our childhood. You’ve got players with whom to carry the ball where the dichembiu now ends. I said, 25, 25 years ago, that players would hit 400 yards off, and I was ridiculed. Now I don’t know how far the ball can go, I don’t know what the limit might be, but don’t be surprised if you see it hit 500 yards because these guys are so big and so strong, it’s horrible. ” The biggest hurdle is the threat of lawsuits from tool-makers. R&A and USGA jointly published a survey saying that the idea of different rules for amateur and professional sports is on the table. “No, they’ll change it for everyone,” Nickel said. “They don’t want to split the golf ball. I don’t know what they’re developing, but my guess is that the faster a club-head moves, the less progress you make as you go down. If you swing at 125 miles per hour, you will be limited to this distance. If you swing at 100 miles per hour, you won’t lose that much distance. If you go 90, you will hardly lose any distance. “Nichols was also asked about the American election, but he refused to talk about it. Nickels gave ringing support to President Trump a few weeks ago, advising fellow Americans to vote for him over BD. However, when asked, Whether Trump should accept defeat wholeheartedly now, Nickelsen replied: “I think I’ve said enough about it. I don’t think this is the place for politics.”
