You have to wonder what he was doing with the stuff on his driver face. Basically, he had this on his driver face, right?

Took a quick screenshot...

Yea, that looks to be like white out, nail polish, or maybe the paint you use for miniatures? 

That does look excessive.

They said that his "club guy" had put that on there to help Hideki with his alignment.  More here:

Matsuyama was disqualified from the Memorial during Thursday's opening round at Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Well that's just dumb. That's not exactly a difficult rule to understand. Or a relatively unknown rule.

It was my assumption that you just don't put stuff on the face of a club. I guess the right amount of paint is allowed since club makers sometimes paint grooves white. Yea, that was just dumb to do.

No kidding. Apparently the stuff was applied by one of his "equipment people" who also surely should have known better.

Assuming this is the correct rule, am I interpreting correctly that the issue isn't so much that he marked the club with a visual indicator, but that the markings could influence the movement of the ball?  Or is it simply the fact that it was marked in an area greater than the specified 0.375 inch square?

 

d. Decorative Markings

The centre of the impact area may be indicated by a design within the boundary of a square whose sides are 0.375 inches (9.53 mm) in length. Such a design must not unduly influence the movement of the ball. Decorative markings are permitted outside the impact area.

Hasn't he been doing this for years? This is a picture of his 3 wood from 2017. I don't understand why this is all the sudden a problem?

I read Hideki indicated the paint was an alianment aid.

It’s simple: you can’t put foreign material on the club face. See also the GC Quad stickers another pro was penalized for failing to remove.

In my opinion the player has the ultimate responsibility. The penalty is on the player.

The freaking equipment rep is the one who put it on there to begin with. It falls on all of them.

Silly to even use it at a tournament. Nonsense micro-tinkering.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
