Nye regler for køller
Nå er det alvor fra 1.
januar 2004
Utviklingen på
køllefronten går sin gang.
Regelverket bestemmer hva
som er lov. Nå har United
States Golf Association
vært gjennom en høringsrunde
siden forslaget ble lagt
frem i vår og kommet med et
brev til kølleprodusentene.
Det handler om
begrensninger på størrelsen
på køllehoder og lengden på
kølleskaft - bortsett fra puttere. I korthet går
forslagene ut på ikke mer
enn 460 kubikkcentimers
hoder og ikke lengre enn 48
tommers skaft.
Golfsiden har fått tak i
brevet.
Her er ordlyden:
The USGA's final position
related to the size limit of
clubheads and length
restrictions just has been
released today and is found
below.

Notice To Manufacturers
Head Size and Club Length
Limits
After consideration of
comments received, the
provisions of the head size
and club length proposal
dated May 14, 2003 have been
approved for implementation
by the USGA I&B and
Executive Committees. These
new limits will become
effective on January 1,
2004. A one-year grace
period will be allowed for
clubs exceeding these limits
that are already in use
prior to January 2004. This
grace period will conclude
on December 31, 2004.
Clubhead Size for
Wood-type Clubs
Clubhead volume will be
limited to 460 cc plus 10 cc
for measurement tolerance.
Measurement will be made
with a displaced water
weight method.
Clubhead heel-to-toe
dimension will be limited to
5.0 inches. Clubhead sole-to
crown dimensions will be
limited to 2.8 inches.
Clubheads will be measured
with the head positioned at
a 60-degree lie angle. If
the outermost point of the
heel is not clearly defined,
it will be deemed to be
0.875 inches above the
horizontal plane on which
the club is lying (see
attached illustration). Both
dimensional limits include
an allowance for measurement
tolerance. Measurement
protocol will be published
in the near future.
All clubheads that have been
submitted to the USGA
measuring less than the
specified volume limit, have
length and height dimensions
that are also less than the
specified limits.
Club Length
Club length for clubs other
than putters will be limited
to 48 inches. The
measurement of length is
made with the club set on a
horizontal plane while the
sole is set against a 60
degree plane (see attached
illustration). The length is
defined as the distance from
the point of the
intersection between the two
planes to the end of the
grip. Measurement protocol
will be published in the
near future.
Questions regarding the head
size and club length limits
should be addressed to the
USGA, attention Dick Rugge,
