Unforeseen Impact of Impending Golf Ball Rollback on Greens

**Golf’s Proposed Ball Rollback Raises Concerns**

Golf’s governing bodies are considering rolling back the golf ball to reduce distance, but some experts warn that the move could have an unintended consequence: slower greens.

According to Golf Digest, the new golf ball would have a smaller core and a thicker cover, which would reduce its spin rate and distance. This would make it harder for players to hit the ball as far, but it could also slow down the greens.

The reason for this is that the current golf ball produces a lot of spin, which helps it to grip the green and stop quickly. A golf ball with less spin would roll further and not stop as quickly, which would make it more difficult to hole putts.

The proposed rollback is still in the early stages, and it is not clear if it will be implemented. However, if the new golf ball is adopted, it could have a significant impact on the game of golf.
