REUTERS: The U.S. Golf Association wants professionals to feel comfortable questioning the rules, but the organisation's mission does not include engaging in a popularity contest, says senior director of governance Thomas Pagel.
The new rule allows players to continue using a damaged club, even bending it back into shape if possible, but not to replace it during a round.Advertisement"If you break or bend the club in play, I don't see where the harm is in replacing it.""That rule used to be so complicated when a club was damaged, unfit," Pagel told Reuters in an interview.
The Thomas criticism followed what at times was a rocky rollout of the new rules in January, though Pagel says he expected growing pains after such a significant overhaul.
