Topics
Andy: Andy 宣布加入Run Pure Sports (RPS),担任所有高尔夫内容总监。他解释了这一决定,包括财务、个人和创意方面的考虑,并概述了他在2024年的计划,包括每周的课程分析文章、YouTube 直播、与 Wiley 和其他人的合作节目,以及与 SaberSim 的合作。他表达了对这一新篇章的兴奋之情,并感谢了听众的支持。 Joseph LaMagna: Joseph LaMagna 详细讨论了高尔夫球距离增加对职业高尔夫的影响,以及回滚规则的必要性。他认为,距离的增加导致了策略的简化,并降低了比赛的观赏性。他反驳了常见的批评意见,并解释了为什么回滚规则对职业高尔夫来说是积极的,即使它可能会对业余高尔夫产生轻微的影响。他提供了具体的例子来说明距离如何影响球场的设计和策略,并强调了恢复平衡的重要性,以及在所有级别上恢复更广泛的技能组合。他认为,回滚规则并非倒退,而是为了让高尔夫运动更具可持续性和趣味性。 Joseph LaMagna: Joseph LaMagna 深入探讨了高尔夫球距离增加对职业高尔夫的负面影响,并强烈支持回滚规则。他认为,过长的距离使得职业高尔夫比赛变成了“一号木加短杆”的模式,缺乏策略性和观赏性。他指出,球场为了应对过长的距离,不得不采取缩小球道、加高草坪等措施,反而降低了击球的技巧性。他以具体的球洞为例,说明了距离增加如何破坏球场的设计意图,并降低了比赛的观赏性。他还反驳了业界和球员对回滚规则的常见质疑,例如担心回滚会对业余球员产生负面影响,以及担心回滚后长打球员会继续占据优势。他认为,回滚规则能够恢复高尔夫比赛的策略性和技巧性,并使比赛更具观赏性。他同时还讨论了高尔夫球具制造商对回滚规则的反对意见,以及回滚规则对高尔夫球场设计和维护成本的影响。
