stores, and then the average golfer who buys them finds he
can’t handle them like the pro can.
Brian Allabastro, director of golf at
Santa Lucia, said, “The competitive golf
ball of ack’s early days was primarily a
two-piece ball and in comparison to
today’s competitive balls, couldn’t offer
the spin, the distance, or the feel of
what tour professionals are used
to today.”
In the glory days of Nicklaus and
Arnold Palmer, the game was more
about shot-making 7 strategizing and
choosing the right clubs for the shot.
Today, it’s about power 7 the ability to
hit the ball long and straight. Club
heads and balls today are designed for
that, but it takes considerable strength
as well.
“ust the distance these new balls
can be hit would make golf course
designers lengthen courses, but add to
that the ability of the top professionals
to hit shots from 900 yards (600 feet)
into a 10-foot circle on a piece of finely
cut grass, have it take one forward hop,
then spin backwards feet to within a
foot of the hole, and the golf course just
has to find a new defense,” Allabastro
said. “Length is commonly the defense.

Master’s Championship, built in 1930, had to be lengthened
