Finchem's decision aids club manufacturers
An interesting bit of intrigue emerged at noon today from Washington, D.C., where people who craft policy are often accused of doing very little of substance. Presented with the option of voting on whether to push back a controversial new equipment revision set to take place on Jan. 1, the PGA Tour Policy Board instead elected to do nothing. And by that, I mean they didn't even vote on the issue. As such, the decision on whether to proceed with the implementation of a new rule requiring new grooves that impart less spin on the ball was left to Commissioner Tim Finchem, who elected not to postpone the deadline. Finchem said "a couple" of equipment companies had asked for the rule change to be postponed. One is known to be Titleist.

Why? Too many trick shots?

Good question. I think they're primary concern is that the ability to spin the ball out of the rough marginalizes the penalty of missing the fairway and the tour wants to put more emphasis on accuracy and less on distance off the tee.
