Hi everyone When the USGA introduced the COR limitation Test I tried to persuade them to publish a list of the clubs and /or heads that they had tested and conformed as well as those that did NOT conform.
My reason for this was that there were heads out there that did NOT conform but did not show up in the list as they had NOT been tested! I even gave a hypothetical example just as George has now encountered in reality I tried to get the RCGA (Canadian equivalent of the USGA) to exert some influence but they weren't very interested . I talked to Bob Dodds at the PCS he couldnt do anything and of course the USGA dont listen to anyone. I got pissed off with whole thing and decided to get my suppliers to confirm that their products Complied--- that wasn't entirely succesful either. I'm sure that I have some customers out there with heads that conform but if they asked for proof of conformity I probably couldn't get it. Any one feel like having a go at the USGA ?
