Welcomed news. I hope the association develops the guidelines in cooperation with the manufacturers. It would be better for all parties involved. The association doesn't become obsolete and the makers aren't clubbed over the head without notice. ************ U.S. Golf Assn will not ban existing clubs SAN FRANCISCO, June 17 (Reuters) - The United States Golf Association said on Wednesday that it does not indend to declare illegal any golf clubs that already have been approved as conforming to the rules. While golf's governing body intends to establish more specific standards for modern high-technology golf equipment, all clubs now in use will meet those standards, USGA Executive Director David Fay said in an eagerly awaited announcement at the venue for this week's U.S. Open. At issue is an article in the Rules of Golf that says a club cannot impart a ''spring-like'' effect on the ball when it is struck. Fay said that all golf clubs -- even those used by the great Bobby Jones in the 1930s -- impart some sort of spring effect, but previously that effect could not be measured. However, the USGA has devised tests that are able to accurately measure the spring effect and it will be sharing the results of those tests with manufacturers in the next few months, Fay said. The USGA will then convene a meeting of all interested parties in the fall. The issue of spring, or ''trampoline'' effect, became a concern for the USGA with the advent of drivers and other clubs with extra large titanium heads and ultra-light graphite shafts, which are extremely popular among golfers of all skills because they seem to allow a player to hit the ball longer and straighter.
