Golf Industry News - golf ball roll back

Following the announcement by The R&A and USGA that there will be limitations on golf balls introduced from 2028, the European Institute of Golf Course Architects (EIGCA) and the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects (SAGCA) have issued a joint response explaining their support of the decision.

TaylorMade has received almost 45,000 responses from golfers who were invited to comment on the USGA and R&A's proposal to introduce new performance parameters for golf balls used for professional and elite level amateur play.

On the heels of the USGA/R&A’s announced proposal for a Modified Local Rule for elite competition that reduces the overall distance a golf ball would travel, Golf Datatech, the golf industry’s leading independent market research firm for retail sales and consumer trends, has unveiled a survey that provides analysis of where serious amateur golfers stand on the issue.
