Forbud
mot "springbrett-drivere"
på dame-tour'ene
Damene skal holde seg til
reglene fra de store
golforganisasjonene.
I en pressemelding fra
damenes Europa Tour (LET)
heter det at damene må gi
opp den ekstra lengden
"spring
effect"-driverne
eventuelt gir. Her er
pressemeldingen:
Evian
Tour ban hot drivers
(Tytherington,
January 25 2003) The
Ladies European Tour will
be adopting the new ruling
from the R&A to ban
the use of "spring
effect" drivers this
season.
Starting
at the ANZ Masters
Tournament on Australia's
Gold Coast, drivers such
as the Callaway E.R.C and
Taylor Made "R"
series will be forbidden
for use in any event on
both the LPGA and LET
Tours.
Huw
Jones, a Senior Tournament
Director for the LET
stated:
"After
careful consideration and
consultation with the Tour
Players' Council, and to
be consistent with the
LPGA, the LET will be
adopting at all Tour
events this year a new 'Condition
of Competition' which
deals with the 'Spring-like'
effect of Driving
Clubs."
The
new ruling, introduced by
the Royal
and Ancient Golf Club
of St
Andrews last
season, prohibits
players from using Driving
Clubs with a Coefficient
of Restitution (COR)
greater than 0.830.
The
new ruling on the LET
states: 'Driving
Clubs with a loft of 15
degrees or less must not
have a coefficient of
restitution greater than
0.830 when measured on
apparatus approved by The
Royal and Ancient Golf
Club of St Andrews.'
The
penalty imposed for any
breach of this ruling is
disqualification.
