Limits on balls. Why waste time worrying about this and look at equipment that is forcing golf courses to be so long? Limits on balls.

All that aside, there are still plenty of legal options using longer putters that are available to golfers who currently anchor -- so no one is going to have to quit playing golf over this.

I applaud the creativity of those who have successfully anchored putters to win championships but I cannot feel sorry for millionaires who may have to relearn a skill to remain competitive. It is unfortunate that anchoring was not addressed several years ago but as one from the R&A said "It is never too late to do the right thing".

These long putters have been around for over 30 years and the governing bodies paid them no attention. If it allows the everyday golfer to enjoy the game why not let him keep his putter without feeling like an outlaw. We need to grow this game not make people quit.

Putting has and always will be about rolling the ball along the ground and getting it into the cup! How you do it has always been subject to the whims of the of the USGA. Remember how they banned croquet putting? Before that it was you could not use a pool shot type of putt. The horror of Casey Martin using a cart to play golf and winning every tournament because he would not be tired. BS! How you putt is an individual style and if anchored putting would win you more tournaments then every pro would do it. Just because the last couple of Majors have been won by a long putter user does not make a difference. Hell, why not ban Jim Furyk for his strange swing? Is his swing in the spirit of the game? Anything that makes more people enjoy the game is what I am in favor of. This is a stupid point of view!

But, if you could swing a 6 foot driver, there is no rule I'm aware of that would prevent you from doing so as long as you didn't anchor it. Long drive contest competitors use extra length drivers all the time and there's violation i'm aware of. I agree with Andrew and the banning of the anchoring of the putter.

To me, this is not a "participation" issue. It's a "preservation" issue. If the anchored putting stroke were allowed to continue, then how long will it be before someone tries to use a six-foot long driver? Someone might have a physical limitation and a six foot long driver might help them gain yards on their tee shots in order to be "competitive" with standard golfers. The same arguments being used for belly putters could be used in favor of extra long drivers, right? At that point, I don't know what game someone would be playing, but it's not golf.
