Let the games begin!  The National Post ran a very good article about what is next in the process of banning the belly putter.  Basically, there is a three-month period for input, then they make a decision and in 2016 no more belly putter.  Yawn!

Actually, this is one of those topics I really don’t care about.  I believe that a long putter, short putter, belly butter, hockey stick or pool cue makes no difference.  Every player still has to hit the shot.  I also believe that if the hinged belly putter was so great, everyone would be doing it.  That is what happens; golfers adopt anything that will make their game better.

I have tried a belly putter and do not like it.  I did not feel more comfortable and my putting stoke was not smooth or consistent.  Overall, I think this is one of those rules that should not be a rule.  Is there not something more important to worry about like a rule regarding the colour of clothes on tour or to many sponsor labels on your shirt!

Well you know how I feel about this topic; what do you think?
