The golf world is ever-changing and evolving to fit the needs of the hour and make sure that the game does not become a redundant sport. In an attempt to do that, the USGA and R&A recently released the Rollback Policy, which will reduce the distance attained by any golfer, recreational or pro.
The news had left the golf community divided on the issue, as not all golfers can hit far like pros. Coming through with her verdict on the rule, Paige Spiranac shared why she “hates” the new policy and how it will affect an amateur golfer.

The golf community has been shaken once again as the USGA and the R&A decided to make changes to how the balls are made, which will reduce the distance by 13-15 yards. At first, the proposal was made to affect only the pro golfers, now it will be problematic for the amateurs as well.
On her recent podcast episode of Playing a Round With Paige, the golf influencer shared the woes of amateurs as she said, “I’m okay with pros doing this. And I know why it all comes down to money and logistics. But why do you have to impact the poor amateurs?”
