I guess it isn't a huge story, but there were whispers that the policy board wouldn't support the ban. I'm glad they went along with it.

I'm anxious to hear if any of the players that were really vocal about the ban, specifically Tim Clark, has anything to say about this publicly.

ETA: Net

He's been the only one that comes off sounding whiney about it.

I thought he was a pretty cool guy before all this, fwiw.

Scott and Clark will go see Kuchar. If not, they will retire.

Can Scott still use the long putter and just not anchor it?

Yes, but the reason to use the putter Scott uses is to anchor it.

I am really anxious to see how the guys on the Web.com and Hooters tours adjust to this change?! They have gotten to where there are because they switched. Should be some interesting changes in the next few years on those respective tours!

Heard somewhere Clark has a "wrist condition" where he has to anchor. Sounds like a sandbagging son of a bitch.

I just got off a plane and this is the first thing I read.

I AM SO PUMPED. I want to slap my golfing buddy in the face who uses one and laugh. He's done!

Adam Scott will get hurt the most.

Good, so It's been accepted across the board.

Now the lawyers line their pockets. Scott and I think 6 other players have put a law firm on retainer. Will be interesting to see if they pursue it in court.

It would have been a cluster frick if the PGA didn't support the ban.

On another note, I hate hearing regular sports radio guys talk about golf rules and what they don't like about golf. Some guys on CBS Sports Radio were talking about this on the way home today and were making no sense.
