Give me a break… Why in the world would an “average” tour player like McCarron accuse a world-class, borderline legend like Phil? He didn’t break any rules… he played a club that was deemed legal. End of story as far as I am concerned.

Leave the man alone. He has more class than 90% of the golfers on tour. If he likes the wedge and it’s still legal, where’s the problem? Go pick on Obama or Bin Ladin.

My question is what is the relationship between Mickelson and KPMG? I notice he always wears the KMPG caps. Are they just sponcering him?

Many thanks,

“Within the spirit of the GAME!” Give me a break, would not Bobby Jones have used CAD tailoring of his clubs, super slo-mo research and corrections of his swing, technically superior metals or carbon fiber technology; or should all of golf remained exactly as authorized by the USGA and R&A in 1952? Is the arbitrary dismissal of a club perceived advantageous for stronger hitters in the rough over shorter players in the fairway within the spirit of the game? Yes, perceived, as if every person could use square grooves to stop a shot or place backspin upon said shot out of the rough. I suppose Phil or anyone else for that matter never made bogey using square grooved clubs? Or is every improvement of golfs big hitters to be retarded in order to allow golfs not so big hitters an opportunity to remain equal? I presuppose then, that 300 pound linemen are to be outlawed in professional football in order to allow those with superior blocking technique an equal chance at playing at the professional level regardless of their size? Ridiculous you say. So is any question as to cheating, or spirit of the law. Golf balls to golf clubs have been scientifically aided until the game has allowed 150 pound, 20 year old’s to hit 340 yard drives. The idea of square grooves helping a player over another is without merit as all were and are allowed equal access to such technology. But then, without rule changes, Callaway and Taylor Made couldn’t have forced golfers around the world shell out another thousand dollars for a new set of irons.

If Scott is so concerned about the “Spirit Of The Game” why doesn’t he quit using the long putter?

Everyone knows Scott McCarron is a jackass. Does anybody really care what this average golfer has to say anyway? Go back to the hole you crawled out of Scott and leave the best golfer in the world alone.

Phil my family started investing in callaway when it was privatly held. I could not agree w/ you more this is not the time to divert money from company earnings to allow the usga to determine what golf clubs should be allowed thanks for your integrity as the national spokesperson for callaway.

ahh cmon the new groove regulation is crap anyways. If one person can use em EVERYONE can use em. Either way, anyone has right to use the same clubs. PLus, this regulation has hurt the manufacturers, who ultimately have a huge impact on the way golf is advertised and played(sponsored).

3 Feb.

The Player Association is at fault.

They have know about the rule and the exception from the beginning.If they had had a vote of the players before Jan 1 2010 asking: Do you agree not to take advantage of the grandfather clause if the majority of the players agree to do so?.

If the majority says yes then all players remain on equal footing. if it,s no the the PGA knows they have to do something before the start of 2010 season.

Now that there is nothing legal preventing it, the search for old clubs is on.
