    That horse left the barn a looong time ago, and they aren't banning it despite a few random people throwing it out there.
    I should've been more clear, they will outlaw the anchoring aspect of the long putter.

    A few random people include such nobodies as Ernie Els and Gary Player. The subject is under consideration already by both the R&A and the USGA.

    They've been talking about outlawing this for years, & I agree it should be outlawed, as a matter of fact, they should never have allowed it, but do you really think it's going to happen? This would be a game changer for a lot of players.

    At the Open Championship a guy from the R & A said a decision is expected within a month or so.

    I do believe the anchoring will be made illegal because it reduces part of the challenge that exists for "nervous" putters.

    No argument here for the nervous putter thing. I'd be surprised if they did it though. I obviously missed the R&A guy's statement about the upcoming decision.

    If it's just the R&A won't this decision only affect the Open Championship or is the USGA also in on this?

    He said the two governing bodies are working as one, which is often the case.

    There's about a dozen golfers who have not yet completed round 3 due to rain delay.

    Anyways, for the free roll pool ShadyJ has taken a commanding lead at -10 followed by spookygook at -3 and Detroit at +2 tied with NaturalBornHustler and forum stalwart and all around class act vegas1369 .

    Please report leader board errors in this thread, thanks.
