"When one watches the Titans at play, their tremendous drives often make their seconds absurdly easy. Holes of 440 yards are sometimes reduced to the drive-and-pitch variety, and their accuracy is often so machine-like that the game seems silly."
"If each year the manufacturers add length to the ball, it will be necessary, if we wish to maintain a championship standard, to provide for extending our courses also indefinitely."
"A hole of about 600 yards will occasionally be reached by two of xxxxxxxx's best shots, and these days there are other hitters of almost equal power. Of course the ball has made such distances possible, and unless some regulation is devised, the ball will force us on and on in this mad race for yardage. It is playing the Bolshevik with our golf courses - undermining old standards and forcing us to destroy annually a great deal of valuable property."
"Some regulation of the golf ball is bound to come as a matter of common sense no less than of economy; and when it does come the golf course architect will be able to work with much more certainty than is possible under present conditions."
"...it will be wise, wherever possible, for adding length in case it should later be required. If the tees are placed so that one must walk forward and not back when approaching them, it becomes a simple matter to lengthen any hole."
