You know, when 90% of golfers and nearly 100% of the golf "establishment" flip you the bird, so to speak, for banging on about how the game is being destroyed maybe you ought to consider that the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it issue is merely a minority personal opinion.
A great many people do not care AT ALL about what Dustin Johnson's club selection means to "the game". And there are a few others who actually think the distances strong players hit the ball nowadays is a great thing, a positive development.
In my perfect world, the USGA would have fixed the ball performance limit somewhere in the neighborhood of the Titleist Professional back when they had a chance. But they fact they abdicated their duty and let the ball get tons longer really doesn't seem to have changed the game fundamentally. Yes it has led ignorant clubs and course owners to "Tiger proof" their courses, including defacing some classics. But I'm not sure at all that such defacements would have been avoided were today's golf ball 20% shorter than it is.
In fact I suspect strongly that it would not have mattered. As friend Sean often repeats, people are gonna do what people are gonna do.
