Thanks for posting the link. I'm sure USGA will use the responses to get what they want. Hank Haney is very outspoken in his criticism of the USGA, and says that Mike Davis has stated that the ball will be rolled back during his tenure.

The USGA is going to do what they want. Asking for feedback is just a PR move. They really don't care what anyone thinks.

It's their ballgame, they can make the rules. I really don't care what changes they make, I'll probably still watch. I guess they think this will raise interest, and if it doesn't work out, they can always change back. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Either way, I have no skin in the game.

Shoes that hold up well for walking courses
Sandy Divot replied to Tommy_Boy14's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
FootJoy Versaluxe has been discontinued, and a lot of places have them on close out. I walk all the time, and these have been a great shoe. At the close out price, you should be able to pick up two pair for the price of one pair of Ecco. -
Thanksgiving Pinehurst Area Trip
Sandy Divot replied to jbwright84's topic in Destinations and Travel
If you are going to be in Raleigh, and have any connections, see if you can get on Raleigh Country Club. It is the last course Ross built, in fact he died before it was finished, and a fun course to play. It was always a great layout, but it was bought by McConnell Golf, and they turned it into a first class club. -
Experiences in Switching From Stiff to Regular Shafts
Sandy Divot replied to parsalot's topic in Golf Talk
I tried a demo in a reg. shaft, and the ball went very high. I like to control trajectory, and could not do that with the reg. shaft. I had much the same results as 3jacker. Don't want to change my swing to fit a shaft, want to find a shaft to fit my swing. -
Sand Wedge Still Common?
Sandy Divot replied to Papa Steve 55's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I use a g30 SW. I believe it i 54% with 12 or 13% bounce. Never had any issues getting out of bunkers. -

Sandy Divot replied to parsalot's topic in Golf Talk
Mabye I'm looking at it the wrong way, but I always thought a fitting was meant to fit clubs to your swing rather than changing your swing to fit clubs. You are a 9, so the swing you went in with had to be ok. -
Ping G20. I always hit the new clubs, but there isn't enough difference to justify spending the money.

Lexi Thompson Steps Away from the Game to Recharge

Looks like she might need some more time. Hope she does what is best for her. -
Gosh, I sure hope those old guys make all 18 before nap time.

Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson Break Up?
Sandy Divot replied to Valleygolfer's topic in Tour Talk
A celebrity? Sounds like you read the magazines at the check out line. -
9&10 are pure garbage. I have a turf degree, and neither will damage the turf.By the way, what is your source for these rules?

Why would I not play the longest, most forgiving irons?
Sandy Divot replied to Unforgiven93's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
There are a couple reasons the GI irons appeal to me. I'm in my mid 69s, and the distance is a big help. Also, the cost of GI irons usually is lower. One forged iron that I have hit, and liked is the Callaway Apex, but that seems to be a hybrid of a GI and players iron.
