From the Clubhouse: A deep dive into the golf ball roll back plans

The NCG Golf Podcast

Now we know. A ball roll back is coming for everyone.

In this week’s podcast, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll dig deep into the R&A and USGA’s decision to reduce the distance the ball travels at every level of the game.

We’re joined by performance coach and data expert Lou Stagner, and James Day, co-founder of Urban Golf and SounderGolf, to debate what the game's two big governing bodies have unveiled.

We wanted to bring you an in-depth discussion and analysis of both sides of the argument. Lou and James passionately defend their different views on the roll back, and the future of the game in both the professional and amateur spheres.

We consider why the governing bodies came to this decision, whether distance really matters at club level, what it means for our classic courses, and much more.

You might agree or disagree, depending where on the fence you sit, but we hope you find the chat absorbing and informative.
