Today is D Day for the anchoring ban of the belly and long-handled putters.

In a joint news conference at 1pm (London time) golf’s ruling bodies, the R & A and USGA, will announce a ban on anchoring any club to the body.

What remains to be seen is whether the PGA Tour will fall into line with golf’s other major tournaments and agree with ban.
