USGA chief Mike Whan has moved to calm the hysteria about new plans to rollback the golf ball in both professional and amateur golf, saying they're not trying to stop distance gains just slow down the pace of them.
Whan wants to avoid a "frenzy" from "ambulance chasers and alarmists" who have been voicing criticism for the plans - and also insisted that the move was not aimed at bringing older, shorter courses back into relevance for staging Majors.
