The atmosphere at Augusta National always has a way of sharpening the mind, but it was Gary Player’s recent comments during the Masters press conference that truly set my brain whirring. When a legend of the game suggests the ball needs to be rolled back a staggering 60 yards, it’s impossible not to sit up and take notice.
However, while Player’s hyperbole grabbed the headlines, it prompted me to put pen to paper on a much more pressing concern: the sheer madness of implementing a universal rollback without a single real-world professional trial.
