Proposal on anchoring putters by USGA! Straight Down outerwear and Accessories in stock @ fairwaygolfusa.com!

It has been announced.

 

USGA has proposed to prohibit anchoring style stroke from golf.

 

golfchannel.com

 

Announcement made today.

 

Illustration of the proposed change in rule by USGA.

 

Yet this is not a rule in effect and only a proposal, if it passes in the next few months, the rule is going to official implemented in 2016 rule change.

 

Why now?

 

The USGA explanation was that the style of stroke that anchors the club to any parts of body other than your hands is not the way the game should be played.

 

It is not about advantage or making the game easier.  It is just a definition of how a stroke should be made.

 

They resort to no scientific studies about the advantages of an anchoring stroke.

 

It is just not for putting (yet putting is pretty obvious for belly and long putters) but for all strokes during the game of golf.

 

Curious to see the reactions.

Golf's governing body to announce decision on Wednesday morning regarding Anchored putters! PUMA special @ fairwaygolfusa.com

USGA and R&A are expected to make an announcement tomorrow morning regarding Anchored putters.

 

Anchored putters are belly putters and long putters that you anchor the end of the putter to your body other than your hands.

 

In recent years, we have seen a growing number of PGA Tour winners using Belly and Long putters.

It will be interesting to see what the decision is.

The new ball is designed to improve:

Ryo Ishikawa gets PGA Tour card! Wins in Japan after 2 year drought!

It was an amazing finish on the PGA Tour at Disney.  Congratulations Charlie Beljan!

Now that the 2012 PGA Tour season has come to a close, the top 125 on the money list obtained a Tour Card for 2013.

 

Ryo Ishikawa also obtained a US PGA Tour card for 2013:

click to go to fairwaygolfusa.com Japan club page

 

He has played in 18 events in 2012 and he was not an official member of the US PGA Tour, he earned $870,000 to get within the 125 ranking and obtained the tour card for 2013.

 

 

Ryo is obviously excited and commented that he is looking forward to playing in the US.

Does this mean that he is going to be full time in the US?

Although the sigining with Callaway for 2013 season is not official, it seems like Ryo is coming to the US!

 

Ryo also won his 10th tournament in Japan last week at:

Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters 2012

 

His 2 year drought has ended.

 

He is now 21 years old and won 10 tournaments already.

 

He has a lot to learn in the US but I am sure he has the right attitude.

 

Go Ryo!

Phil Mickelson using Taylor Made Fairway Wood!

Did you hear about it?

 

 

It was on golfweek.com>>>>  article

 

Mickelson used a Taylor Made fairway wood at the HSBC

 

Painted Black

 

The article quotes Mickelson:

 

"When I come over here, a lot of times I’m not able to hit driver and I’m right in between clubs,” Mickelson said. “And our 3-wood and driver weren’t ready, so they let me use a different club, which is why I love my relationship with Callaway. They want me to play whatever I have to play my best.”

 

Callaway does not seem to expose their "other" new wood line yet.

 

We will wait and see what it is soooooon.
