‘Biggest Problem’: Adam Scott & More Demand Major Equipment Rule Change as Golf’s Distance Crisis Deepens

Professional golf’s distance debate is entering another interesting phase. Both Adam Scott and Patrick Reed say that while the driver used to be difficult to play, it has now become the most forgiving. They are also questioning whether changing the golf ball alone will do enough to address the problem. Their concerns point to a different approach to controlling distance. “The biggest problem I have with the driver is it’s gone from the most difficult club to hit in the bag to the most forgiving,” Adam Scott told Ben Parsons of Today’s Golfer at the Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship.
