EIDOLON Golf President/Founder Terry Koehler wants to set the record straight in regards to the grooves. In his latest blog (www.TheWedgeGuy.com), Koehler points out that, contrary to much of the mis-information being distributed, “square grooves” will not be outlawed by the U.S. Golf Association beginning next year on the PGA Tour.
“This is just an out and out falsehood,” Koehler blogs. “In fact, it’s two lies, because the PGA Tour hasn’t even decided whether to implement the new rule at all yet.”
Koehler explains that the USGA’s new “groove rule” has three substantive parts, including the way manufacturers have to measure our grooves and spacing.
“Before, we only had to concern ourselves with the groove width, depth and space between the grooves. Those requirements and measurements haven’t changed, but the USGA added a fourth measurement requirement that defines a formula for the volume of groove dimension per inch of face. In simple terms, square grooves would have to be further apart than ‘v’ grooves because they can channel away more grass and moisture.”
