Expect a lot of discussion and debate over the next few weeks about today's USGA and R&A Media Conference proposals concerning the future of the golf ball.
Here's Bridgestone Golf's response below. Short and sweet.
Bridgestone is proud of our long standing and cooperative relationship with the USGA and R&A. We believe the game of golf benefits from the leadership and guidance of the governing bodies. Regarding the proposed Model Local Rule, we appreciate the transparency of the process that has brought us to this point.
We are concerned that the proposed rule changes could confuse and dampen the enthusiasm of millions of new participants to our game. We are pleased that the proposed changes do not appear to be aimed at recreational players. Bridgestone has always been a leader in golf ball technology and innovation and we are confident that our superior engineering capabilities will allow us to continue to push the envelope of golf ball performance for recreational players while also making the best possible golf ball for elite competitions.
We will closely study the proposed changes and communicate our point of view directly to the USGA and R&A.
