How do the R&A manage to get things so wrong they appear to live in another world putting a putter shaft against their arm from the hand to the elbow is not anchoring now they come up with bright idea of giving all amateur golfers the cost of having one inch cut off their drivers

Where does it say this about cutting down drivers.

Did they steal your full stop too.

I’d say armlock putting is anchoring. But why do I have to cut an inch off my driver?

 

[Marroy]

They are changing the maximum driver length from 47 inch’s to 46 inch’s

 

[srixon 1]

They are changing the maximum driver length from 47 inch’s to 46 inch’s

Do you have a link for this?

 

[BiMGuy]

They are changing the maximum driver length from 47 inch’s to 46 inch’s

And how many amateurs do you think that is going to affect?

 

[fundy]

They are changing the maximum driver length from 47 inch’s to 46 inch’s

its 48inch to 46inch, and only a competition rule for pros and elite amateurs isnt it?

 

[wjemather]

They are changing the maximum driver length from 47 inch’s to 46 inch’s

It's an optional model local rule intended for use in elite events only. Since almost all elite players are wielding drivers under 46 inches anyway, it really only affects a very small number of tour pros.

What's the length of YOUR Driver?
Oh and Putting with the shaft braced against the forearm is NOT anchoring! How would the putt be made if it was?

...
I’d say armlock putting is anchoring....

What/Where is the 'anchor point' - which, by definition/inference, is a point that is stationary.
Chest certainly is though.

You’ve not seen me putt ?

Arm lock putters may not actually use anchoring by strict definition, but they're still wrong in my opinion. Personally, I feel that having got rid of anchoring from the game, they should have gone the whole hog and restricted it to "Only the hands may be in contact with the club when making a swing/stroke." That would, in my view, be 'purer' to the intentions/origins of the game.

If there are any average amateurs using a 48” driver the R&A is probably doing them a favour by making them cut it down.

 

[Banchory Buddha]

They are boobs, but not on this one

Taking The Open off council telly is a humungous boob

Look at Kirsty Muir, all she has to do is make an Olympic final, not even medal, and her local dry ski slope has been inundated with enquiries, same happens during Wimbledon when kids suddenly find tennis rackets.

Golf?? Nah.

Yep, definitely. 45 or 45.5 plenty long enough for anyone, and many pros use shorter than those.

...and two weeks later, it's empty again.

Perhaps it would be more to the point if you had the right facts.

 

[Crazyface]

D'ya know, I thought this was going to be about something completely different...........

I can guarantee you were not alone....

...now they come up with bright idea of giving all amateur golfers the cost of having one inch cut off their drivers

How many amateur golfers use a 47 inch shaft on their driver?
