I find this ruling to be curious and at odds with the millions that the USGA is spending trying to get more people to play golf. Adding more rules and restrictions is not the way to get more people involved. What's next - requiring knickers because that's what they wore in the early days of golf?
To me, it would be like the ruling body of tennis outlawing two handed tennis shots just because the way the game was played 50 years ago only had one-handed shots.
