TOUR TO GO AHEAD WITH GROOVE CHANGES IN 2010
BETHESDA, Md. (AP)—PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem didn’t have to spin this one. He made it clear Tuesday that the tour will go along next year with a new rule that changes the grooves in irons and wedges.
The U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club announced last year that effective Jan. 1, the dimensions in grooves—from the 5-iron through wedges—would change to create less spin when the ball was struck. The idea was to make shots out of the rough more difficult, putting a higher premium on driving accuracy.
