El PGA Tour encuesta a los jugadores sobre el debate de la distancia en el golf

El PGA Tour ha comenzado a distribuir una encuesta a sus jugadores y a los miembros del Korn Ferry Tour para recopilar opiniones sobre la propuesta de reducir la distancia de la pelota de golf y la creciente influencia de la distancia en este deporte.

La encuesta de 13 preguntas pide a los miembros qué habilidades merecen más énfasis en el tour, con opciones que van desde la precisión en el drive hasta el control de la trayectoria. También sondea si el PGA Tour debería desarrollar su propia autoridad normativa en lugar de delegar en la USGA y la R&A.
