R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said discussions with the U.S .Golf  Association  with titleist cb 712 irons about longer putters anchored to the body began before Els holed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the claret jug at age 42.Keegan Bradley at the PGA Championship and Webb Simpson at the U.S. Open both used belly putters. Adam Scott, who had a four-shot lead with four holes to play in the British Open, was using a long putter that he says helped turn around his game with Callaway FT-iZ Driver Golf Clubs For Sale.
 
We appreciate that there is much speculation about this and that we need to clarify the position as soon as possible, Dawson said Monday. And I think you're going to see us saying something about it one way or the other in a few months, rather than years. But he made clear that the R&A and USGA, which set the rules for golf around the world with Callaway FT-iZ Driver, have not decided whether to ban them.

This decision has not been taken, he said. Please don't think that it has. Tiger Woods was among those this year who recommended that the putter simply be the shortest club in the bag. Els once criticized the long putters, but when he struggled mightily with his putting, he switched to a belly putter late last year. As long as it's legal, I'll keep cheating like the rest of them, Els said in October.

Because it is being treated as a potential rule change, it would not become effective until 2016. The Rules of Golf with Callaway FT-iZ Driver and titleist mb 712 irons are updated every four years.Jim MacArthur, chairman of the championship committee for the R&A, said there were 27 long putters and 16 belly putters in the 156-man field at the Open. Dawson said the number of golfers using the long putter has dramatically increased from about 5 percent five years ago, although he did not notice an increase at the recent British Amateur.
