Ballesteros: technology gone too far

SEVE BALLESTEROS yesterday called for some radical changes in professional golf — to make the game harder to play.

Ballesteros, speaking in Tenerife on the eve of his 30th appearance in the Spanish Open, believes improved technology has made life much too easy for today's stars.

Now he wants to see a ban on all long putters, a limit of the degree of loft on wedges and a reduction in the number of clubs allowed from 14 to 12.
