I think that has already been taken care of:

-agreement-with-apple/

Rich's panties are in too much of a wad to understand what
corporations do.

The smug assurance of someone who found out about the agreement 30
mins ago. But Ping is nothing if not pragmatic. When they released a
driver years ago with an illegal thin face (it flexed inward when the
ball was struck) the PGA tried to ban the club. Ping had resources
so they sued to keep the club around. The PGA, which didn't have as
much resources, backed down. And now mediocre golfers can score
higher, and the club confers no benefit on pros. Kind of like
socialism in golf.

If you bothered fact checking, you would see that the scores of amateur
golfers have not decreased with the introduction of the hi tech equipment.

Nor gone higher! The reason: the longer distance down the fairway is
off set by going deeper into the rough/OB, etc.

Here is my reference:

I've played enough golf that I never know the reason for any score.
I used to regularly play a $10 Nassau. The few times I played a higher game,
I shot an embarrassingly low score.
