Chamblee is one of the most outspoken critics in golf, especially when it comes to the Saudi-backed Tour.
There have been many changes in the golf world, and there is no doubt that the future will be shaped by new things, mainly related to technology.
The AimPoint method is a method of particular interest that uses the player’s feet to read the slope and determine how the ball will break on the green.
Keegan Bradley, Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood use such a method.
As a man who respects tradition and has been in the sports world for years, Chamblee is not happy with the arrival of AimPoint. He believes it will spoil the essence of golf, what makes the sport special: imagination, intuition and feeling.
“On the short list of things that are hard to swallow in golf, AimPoint is near the top of that list. AimPoint may work, even if it’s hard to quantify, but personally I think it interrupts the flow of walking, looking and feeling… and shifts the narrative of skill. Great putting has been about mystery, genius and touch… imagination, intuition and feeling. AimPoint ‘is focused on turning green reading into a science, while putting has traditionally been about interpretive art and the intuitive bucket empties’ of posting and fills it with instruction.”– he wrote.
Brandel Chamblee’s views
Chamblee is aware that there will be many more changes in the future and that it will be difficult to stop such changes, but he still cannot hide his dissatisfaction about it. A large number of fans, mostly older, are also not happy with these innovations and hope that such things will be a thing of the past in the future and that golf will again be what it was for years.
Brandel Chamblee does not like LIV Golf for this reason, as this tour not only continues to lure players with money, but also wants to introduce innovations that disrupt the tradition of this sport and the essence of golf.
