golf anchoring rule 14-1b

[David_Tepper]

Comments from JohnVDB, a retired USGA rules official, on the other Langer thread currently active:

"I got so sick of idiots who called the USGA and said that Langer was anchoring when every official I know checked out what he did and were ok with it.  In addition he seems to be a man of impeccable integrity and if he says he isn’t I’m going to believe him."

[Erik J. Barzeski]

seems obvious to me that the left forearm is anchored on the chest

Except that it's not.

Good comments also from AG and David Tepper. I don't know why you have a bug up your behind about Bernhard, William G, but please accept the possibility that you're just completely off base here.

Here is a clip with them discussing it.  BL and others contend that it's just their shirt sagging off their body when they lean forward.  So, it looks like the forearm and/or the left hand is touching the torso when it really isn't. 


Sorry, the audio is pretty quiet in this.

I think the solution is obvious. Players like Langer should be required to play shirtless. 

Ewww, watching Tim Herron or Colin Montgomerie playing golf shirtless could set the Senior Tour back decades.

So, what I’m reading is.


Every player that has signed Langer’s scorecard as a marker is a cheater

Well said Pat. Also, every official on the PGA Champions, the USGA and the R&A are in on the coverup.
