Bonk On The Ball

Thomas Bonk in the LA Times (reg required) has a nice summary on the ball issue. I think Wally Uihlein was way too optimistic when he said, "They've really asked, 'Give us product examples to get to the end numbers we've already landed on.'

"Clearly, everybody has a self-interest here. Somebody saying they've got some altruistic concern for the game, that's just hard to buy."

Hmmm…come on, not everybody has sold out!

In the same article, Robert Trent Jones Jr., who recently endorsed Titleist's NXT ball, said, "It's the tyranny of TV and TV's red numbers are changing this. We change the game just for them?”

"I can't imagine people buying a shorter ball."
