PGA Tour undersöker spelarnas åsikter om golfens distansdebatt

PGA Tour har börjat skicka ut en enkät till sina spelare och medlemmar på Korn Ferry Tour för att samla in åsikter om förslaget att begränsa golfbollars prestanda samt det växande inflytandet av distans inom sporten.

Enkäten består av 13 frågor och ber medlemmarna att ange vilka färdigheter som bör prioriteras mer på touren, med alternativ som sträcker sig från precision i utslagen till förmågan att forma slagen. Den undersöker även om PGA Tour bör utveckla sin egen regelverkande auktoritet istället för att förlita sig på USGA och R&A.
