Add Geoff Ogilvy to the chorus of voices calling for a distance rollback of the golf ball.In an interview before the start of the Emirates Australian Open, Ogilvy said a "time-out" is needed for governing bodies to deal with the issue."It's complete nonsense," he said, according to an Australian website. "In my career, its gone from 300 yards was a massive hit to youre a shorter hitter on tour now, legitimately short. Its changed the way we play great golf courses and that is the crime. It isnt that the ball goes 400, thats neither here nor there. Its the fact the ball going 400 doesnt makes Augusta work properly, it functions completely wrong.

Ogilvy used an example from American baseball to help get his point across to an Australian audience.Major League Baseball in America, they use wooden bats, and everywhere else in baseball they use aluminium bats, he said.
