The USGA is changing the rules on golf clubs, but unless you are one of those professionals we watch on Sunday afternoons on tv, you DON'T need to worry about it!!!
As most of you know, my partner has a golf club business and played in the mini-tour years ago. Well, it seems that the USGA is changing the rules on golf clubs and a lot of golfers are worried about the up-coming changes. Here is what Ron is putting on the website for his business Nomad Golf WRX (www.nomadgolfwrx.com):
"Our pre 2010 wedges will be legal for 99.99% of all golfers. This will be in effect until at least 2014 and may be extended until 2024. Only the Elite Tour Pros will be required to play the 2010 model clubs with the new 2010 "V" grooves. The new 2010 model irons (down to the 5 iron) & wedges may have a reduced spin rate by as much as 50%. For the non-Elite our wedges will become 'State of the Art" as older "U" & Square groove model wedges will not be produced. Watch for more up-dates and links on our web site. This is the first time in golfing history that two sets of USGA and R&A rules will be applied."
So there you have the upcoming changes cut down to a paragraph that at least golfers can understand! For more information be sure to check out Ron's website at www.nomadgolfwrx.com.
