Michigan Golf Journal April 2023

Golf Season is HERE!! FRED ALTVATER PUBLISHER Back 9 Media Group Also Publishes: Ohio Golf Journal Indiana Golf Journal Back 9 Report When Michiganders see the beauty and wonder of the Masters on their big screens they know that its time to hit the links. In this issue we feature junior golf and the multitude of golf opportunities for young golfers. From local junior leagues to AJGA and USGA national tournaments there are competitions available for every level of junior golfer. If you have a child interested in learning to play the game the right way, get them involved in a junior golf program. It will help them build confidence and give them a game that will last a lifetime. Besides the ongoing LIV/PGA Tour fight that does not appear to have an end in sight, the USGA and The R&A last month announced another step in their campaign to rollback the distance a golf ball can travel for professionals and elite amateur golfers. This ‘bifurcation’ of the golf ball has been discussed for several years and golf’s ruling bodies intend to have the separation of golf balls in place by 2026. Golf fans are split on the issue and the future may spawn more lawsuits to overturn any change. In a special Back 9 Report, Kieran Clark and Mike May debate the pros and cons of changing the golf ball.
