I agree it is a stupid, and costly way to go.What will it accomplish?? Case in point: No one spins the ball as much out of the rough than Padraig Harrington, and Fred Funk hardly spins it at all !!
If you change the groves what will happen, Padraig will still spin the ball, maybe a little less than before, and so will Fred F.also spin it less than before. Padraig & Fred's spin will be reduced by a similar amount!! So lets face it what have you accomplished?? 1.Maybe raise the Pro's scoring average a little bit. 2.Cost the average golfer tons of money to conform to senseless dictates. 3.Cost Club Manufactures Hundreds of thousands, to make new conforming tooling, which will be passed on to the end user. Raising the rough at all Professional tournament venues to 5" instead of the 4" which has been the norm for decades, would possibly achieve the same result, with cost increases only to the Golf Courses involved in Professional tournaments.
