1635916376010526725 | Good leadership from the @RandA and @usopengolf @USGAMike - stick to your guns and golf will use less land, have less impact on the environment, be cheaper and faster. Plus, as an added bonus, the great old golf courses will be relevant again for tournament play. 👍👍 | 22 |

1638497377748418560 | @Rod_Morri @JimmyEmanuel4 @AdrianLogue @MattMollica @rollbackgolf @AusGolfPassport Lots of interesting topics discussed here & I am sure I am not the only one who heard an interview with @USGAMike on @NoLayingUp where he said that the launch conditions of the ball testing would be reviewed regularly over time. I took that as: this is a start, not a 1 & done | 7 |
1636085016135446528 | Good listen @USGAMike @NoLayingUp podcast on why driver heads were not reduced. Off centre hits and dispersion. Less forgiving hits and more reward for centre hits still on the table | 2 |
1635681304560762880 | @JuanCAlmodovar @desertdufferLLG @USGA @RandA @livgolf_league @USGAMike Because LIV plays no-cut events. And yes, the Tour adding more of these events will be a problem as well. | 2 |

1636285498871382016 | @ballisinplay @RandA @usopengolf @USGAMike Less distance, less dispersion, less maintained turf | 1 |
1635684899234496512 | @desertdufferLLG @USGA @RandA @livgolf_league @USGAMike i'll watch LIV this weekend but let's not pretend there was any thunder to steal | 1 |
