PLAYING ABILITY TEST CHANGES “AGAIN” At their recent meeting, the PGA Board of Directors modified the course yardage for men and women participating in the Playing Ability Test. Beginning March 28, 2016, men will play from a minimum of 6,350 yards to a maximum of 6,700 yards while women will play from a minimum of 5,400 to a maximum of 5,700 yards. This change to 6,350 – 6,700 yards will be a more relevant test of ability, based on the improvements in golf club and golf ball technology over the past 40 years. The revision of the women’s yardage to 5,400 – 5,700 yards, based on prior data, will result in the most equitable opportunity for successful completion of the Playing Ability Test for women.
