    They're talking enough. For crying out loud, Jamie Grubb is half-naked in Maxim this month.

    She's half-naked? So you're saying she suddenly has developed some modesty?
     
  4. I know you guys love the salaciousness of this, but I was really more interested in McCarron's idea of breaking the "spirit of the rule," when he uses a long putter himself.

    That screeching sound you hear is McCarron backtracking everything.

    McCarrron's not a big enough boy to call someone else a cheater ... or anything else.

    How are the two ideas remotely similar.

    The long putter isn't outlawed. Period.
     
  8. The history of the long putter is very similar to this BS argument about grooves. The wedges Mickelson is using are also not outlawed...period.

    Square grooves are outlawed.

    Some exception because of a litigated settlement is not in ANY way the same deal.

    Also, we need to stop using terms such as "outlawed" and "illegal" and "legal." No one will get arrested if they bring one of last year's square-grooved clubs to the first tee. They might get disqualified, but not arrested. The correct terms are conforming and non-confirming.
    Just a small rant.
     
  11. lol...although I think pursuing athletes that use performance enhancing substances is a complete joke, use of steroids with a prescription is illegal. Square grooves certainly aren't illegal like that.

    Golf itself calls it an illegal drop when you fuck that up.

    You don't get arrested for illegal procedure in football, either.
    Get over yourself.
