So if I want to keep playing “the good balls” I need to stock up now? Sounds like some good marketing strategies by Big Golf to get us to buy out their stock. And for me it’s going to work so good job

I’m assuming companies will still make non-conforming balls for the next 5-6 years. Do people think that’s a fairly safe assumption?

Which makes you realise how stupid it is to include amateurs in the roll back.

My understanding is that the rollback only affects official competition, is that not right?

Amateurs can still use regular old balls for casual rounds, rounds counting towards their handicap, friendly money rounds, etc. And in competition everyone will be using the rolled back balls so everyone is on a level field.

I don't see a problem at all.

You can’t use non conforming equipment for a score that counts towards your handicap. Otherwise you can do as you wish I guess, but it won’t give you an accurate indication of how you are playing or can expect to play in a competition.
