It’s been weeks since the rollback policy was suggested by the USGA and R&A. This policy basically focuses on putting limitations on how far the golf ball can reach, and this rule is mostly applicable to aristocratic professional golfers with high clubhead speeds  Now, the PGA Tour is an association that is much heralded for its strong grounds in upholding the golf tradition and legacy.

As a result, the rule has been defined to be followed by Commissioner Jay Monahan. Now, days after Monahan’s non-compliance, PGA Tour pro’s hilarious take on the rollback policy bewilders golf enthusiasts, hence, drawing their attention.

On the one hand, this innovation in the golf world can achieve the highest peaks of success and also resolve the pertaining problem of increasing distance in professional golf, but on the other hand, it affects the golf courses detrimentally and reduces sustainability as well.

But given that the PGA Tour sticks by its customs, be it for the golfing outfits or other things, even now the rollback policy is not embraced by the tour as well, since it goes against the traditions of their heritage. 

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan also stands against it, and to officially make that point, he sanctioned a memo that stands in opposition to the rollback policy. Even in the memo, Jay Monahan mentioned, “The proposed Modified Local Rule is not warranted and is not in the best interest of the game” sending shockwaves to the golf community. 

Now, weeks after the PGA Tour’s defiance of following the rollback policy, a PGA Tour veteran, Michael S. Kim recently shared a post on Twitter over the same. In the post, he only wrote,Roll the ball back!!!Now, the vague utterance of the words doesn’t clarify anything profound regarding the policy, but it is quite uncanny that he posted this even after the PGA Tour resisted getting it accomplished.
