Weekend Chat: Alternative Rollback Ideas?

Your Club TFE comment section for the third weekend of March

Weekend Chat: Alternative Rollback Ideas?
Weekend Chat: Alternative Rollback Ideas?

How are we doing, Club TFE? Is your bracket still intact?

The comment section is down there. You know what to do.

Club TFE housekeeping

This month’s member video went up yesterday. Check it out.

The first TFE Event of the year—The Karl at Lake Merced—is this coming Monday. Hope to see some of you there! Whether or not you’re planning to attend, we think you’ll enjoy our new video on Gil Hanse’s renovation of the course.

Your weekly question

As the Model Local Rule debate rages (drags?) on, we thought we’d steal a question from our friend Shane Bacon:

A lot of wild comments/quotes coming out today after the rollback announcement so I'd like to hear your most ridiculous take on what golf should do about equipment/golf ball/distance.

The weirder/wilder/sillier the better!

— Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) March 14, 2023

One amendment, though: if you have a dead-serious alternative idea for how the USGA and R&A should rein in distance, let’s hear that, too.

Feels (to this writer, at least) like we’re half of the way to a proper rollback. Thanks for your support of The Fried Egg.

About the author

Garrett Morrison

When I was 10 or 11 years old, my dad gave me a copy of The World Atlas of Golf. That kick-started my obsession with golf architecture. I read as many books about the subject as I could find, filled a couple of sketch books with plans for imaginary golf courses, and even joined the local junior golf league for a summer so I could get a crack at Alister MacKenzie's Valley Club of Montecito. I ended up pursuing other interests in high school and college, but in my early 30s I moved to Pebble Beach to teach English at a boarding school, and I fell back in love with golf. Soon I connected with Andy Johnson, founder of Fried Egg Golf. Andy offered me a job as Managing Editor in 2019. At the time, the two of us were the only full-time employees. The company has grown tremendously since then, and today I'm thrilled to serve as the Head of Architecture Content. I work with our talented team to produce videos, podcasts, and written work about golf courses and golf architecture.
