Yes, as an amateur player you will still be able to play with the older golf balls even after the new rules come into effect. The new rules, drawn up by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A), are scheduled to come into force in 2028 for professional and elite golfers, and only in 2030 for the rest of us golfers. This means that there will be no immediate ban on the use of current amateur golf balls.
However, it is important to note that these changes are intended to affect how golf balls are tested and certified rather than outright banning specific balls. So, even after 2030, if your existing golf balls meet the then current regulations, you will still be able to use them. In addition, the rule changes are primarily designed to limit the professional players' ability to hit long shots, while the impact on amateur players is expected to be minimal.
However, it's always a good idea to keep up to date with the latest rules from the USGA and R&A, especially if you plan to participate in competitions or official events where specific equipment rules may apply.
