Henry Longhurst discusses the longer distance claimed with the larger American golf ball, noting mixed British opinions and commentary from players like Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan. He cites measurements showing one American ball fell short of the official minimum, and observers debate whether a common pool of balls should be used in big events.

Blind Golfers Compete as Pros Like Typical Match
About a decade ago George Fazio and Pete DAngelis played a rain shortened blindfolded match against Bob Allman and Charley Boswell. The foursome, led to the first tee blindfolded, saw Allman and Boswell perform solidly while the pros staggered through three holes. Bud Lewis, a pro at Manufacturers CC, has taught blind golfers since 1945 and believes with coaching and practice a blind player could reach 70s over 18 holes.
