I thought they created this a while ago and called it the USDGC?

They should also removing blocking shots from basketball becuase they could foul when that happens.
Good logic.
Stand & deliver (no run-up).

I had never ever heard of this. That's no bueno. Just confirming that's actually not a rule right? Just something they were talking about doing? Or a rumor that they were thinking about implementing? Reading the PDGA discussion on it, looks like it wasn't put in play at the time, but that was a few years back.
There are some of us who look at stand and deliver or it's cousin deliver and stay as a potential point of improving the game. There are many threads on it already where arguments are passionate. So I'll leave it there.
Testing and comparing ideas like these was the primary catalyst for the GDT Coordinators, who hatched this R&D team concept at Pro Worlds, to lobby the PDGA Board at the September Summit meeting to approve creation of this group.Sure the top players might think its a better solution but I think a
better means to an end would be to toughen up the greens instead of limiting the size of the baskets
why do people want S&D so badly? Makes no sense to me
Takes the most violated and not called rule out of the game completely. Less bs more skill. Top players wouldn't have a problem making the change IMO.
If they don't try s and d they should at least try making the plant area bigger...just my two cents....

I know the subject has been beaten to death but
IMO smaller targets will be disasterous for the sport
players will lay up more and not go for it
3 putts
less incentive to make long runs at the basket
fewer amazing shots from distance
All of this will make for awful filming and make our sport appear boring
laying up from 60 ft away? zzzzzzzz
I think the answer is sloped greens or more dangerous or interesting greens that wiill film well

Several of the GDT members have been some of the most innovative in the sport over a long period. Take a look at their resumes on the Hall of Fame site. We are not decision makers but idea conduits, testers and evaluators to provide better information for the decision makers. It's the decision makers where one would hope any new thinking might be able to move forward when shown to be viable and appropriate with this new vetting process.

There has already been an x-tier event held this past year where the first round was played with current baskets and the second round was played with the smaller, inner chain only baskets. The scoring differential from your best players to your worst players actually shrunk because your best players were not making the longer putts and the not as good players were still just laying up. In my opinion we should be looking to do things that increase the scoring differential, not making it smaller.
