Golf’s ruling bodies, the St. Andrews based R & A and the New Jersey based USGA, look set to announce an anchoring ban next Tuesday.
Both have released advisory notices of a ‘Rules of Golf’ Press Conference, and while it’s not definite a ban will be announced Peter Dawson as CEO of the R & A hinted some weeks ago the two ruling bodies were close to an announcement on the controversial manner of anchoring the belly putter and/or long-handled putter to the body.
