Isn’t Anyone Listening?
PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem by announcing yesterday the Tour would adopt next January the latest USGA specifications regarding the design of short iron grooves made two things very clear.
He seems to be OK with the Tour having a different set of rules than the rest of us golfers since we don’t have to obey the USGA for several years yet.
Secondly he evidentially thinks scoring at his tournaments is too low and less effective grooves will cause scores to rise or put another way, the game is too easy.
It is fantastic to me Finchem would fall in line with the USGA to take any technical/design club making advances out of the hands of golfers. In addition didn’t anyone listen to the club manufacturers chorus saying this wasn’t a good idea in the first place?
I must be out of step…the game is not getting too easy.
