Here we go again!! Technology needs to stop and go back to the Time when a golfer had to learn how to Work the ball and play on Instincts and Experience learned by playing for a lifetime. I just think that the Game is Being Ruined by all of this. Stop the Tinkering and go back to the basics. Its a Game that should be fun but yet Challenging!!

@bk.....do your homework!!! everyone can use an anchored putter until its banned and no player in the top 20 in strokes gained per putting uses an anchored putter.....

This ban would be like banning oversized tennis racquets. There never would have been a tennis boom without oversized racquets.

Manufacturers have already intimidated the USGA enough with the ball and drivers; why allow the essence of the game to be altered because of nerves.
You can either putt or you can't; figure it out or play something else.

It should be started soon, but allowing time for a reasonable transition period.

It should start immediately - because it's not fair to other who have never NEEDED the anchored stroke. To allow the anchor putters to carry on making money with that method is not fair to those normal putter players.

    Uh, in case you haven't noticed ALL players are allowed to use the anchored putter, until banned. so don't cry that it's unfair to the ones that don't use it. They can start right now if they want. what is a "normal" putter anyway? ban the Claw next???

I only chose Jan 1 2014 because Jan 1 1988 wasn't an option.
