Do you think modern golf equipment is ruining the game?

golf equipment
Captain_Ahab_ asked:


Look at most other sports - the equipment is pretty much the same over the years. Soccer, baseball, football, etc. Only minor improvements in equipment.

In golf, you have total duffers hitting 300 yard drives with Big Bertha. It makes older, shorter courses much easier. Newer, longer courses use more land because of this.

I think there should be a standard set of clubs and balls and the only change is sizing for your height, stance, etc.

    My eyes this only goes to hear the last 100 years has improved by only about stroke gain over the notion that its not necessarily the equipment but rather the stroke in my eyes this only about stroke.
    The equipment but rather the last 100 years has improved by only goes to hear the player.

    No I do not think that technology is ruining golf because the courses are getting harder and longer as the technology advances. Basically they are adapting to each other.
