Trevino: "The USGA has dropped the ball on the golf ball"

Ron Kroichik features these quotes from Lee Trevino, who is playing in this week's First Tee event at Pebble Beach:

-- On the chance of future tour players relying on a homemade swing, as he did: "There won't be any more homemade golf swings, because power is everything. My swing was powerless; that's one of the reasons I hit the ball so straight."

-- On technology's impact on golf: "The golf ball has ruined the game. It doesn't bend as much as it used to. The USGA has dropped the ball on the golf ball -- they won't admit it, but they know."
