	Investigating the options in the new USGA green construction recommendations
		When the USGA introduced the new version of its green construction recommendations (4) in March 1993, there were several changes made that expanded the types and sizes of materials that can be used in the USGA green profile, including the gravel bed, the intermediate layer, and the root zone mix.
		The USGA method for determining the physical properties of a greensmix does not include putting all three components (greensmix, intermediate layer, and gravel) together in layers when testing, but to test the physical properties of the greensmix in 2" x 3" cylinders separately from the intermediate layer and gravel.
		We thought it would be interesting to construct threelayered models of the USGA methods of golf green construction (the former 12mm intermediate layer method and the two new options) and to compare water permeability rates of the three models with those of the greensmix determined separately under USGA protocol.

		In addition to the previously made volume proposal, the USGA is now proposing that clubhead heel to toe length and clubhead sole to crown height will also be limited.

	USGA HANDICAP FORMULA
		A USGA Handicap Index is a USGA mark that represents the potential ability of a player on a course of standard difficulty.
		The USGA Handicap Index is calculated by taking 96 percent of the average of the best handicap differentials, and applying Section 10-3 for golfers with two or more eligible tournament scores.
		USGA Handicap Index reduction for exceptional tournament scores is calculated at each handicap revision.

	USGA's Failure to protect the game
		The USGA is predominately a “blue-blooded” organization of a small clique of old, established golf clubs in the northeast who sought to control the world of golf in the US.
		The USGA should have hired the best technical minds to forecast the direction of tech advancement and should have had principles already in place to keep a limit on equipment.
		Most manufacturers submit their prototypes to the USGA for “prior approval” before encountering the expense of tooling up for a product that might later be “DQ’d.” At many steps along the way the USGA failed to prognosticate the impact that slight changes would have on the future of the game.

		Callaway was incensed when the USGA passed judgment on his club, questioning whether it's of any benefit to the average golfer.
		The USGA first became concerned with the distance the ball was traveling in 1997, after the average drive on the PGA Tour had improved by 2 yards each season, beginning in 1994.
		Through it all, the USGA and Callaway can almost agree on one thing: Each is disappointed about Palmer's role in the matter, over criticism he has received or why he endorsed the club for recreational use.

	Handicaps through NGN
		The NGN is authorized by the USGA, the same as GHIN, suitable for computing and issuing USGA Handicap Indexes through USGA compliant clubs to be used by golfers in handicap-adjusted (net) competitions.
		A basic premise underlies the USGA Handicap System, namely that every player will try to make the best score at each hole in every round, regardless of where the round is played, and that the player will post every acceptable round for peer review.
		A USGA Handicap Index, issued by a golf club or authorized golf association, indicates a golfer’s skill and comes in the form of a number taken to one decimal place, e.g.

	USGA Decision
		Due to the likelihood that the geographic distribution of golfers using a web site might be wide in nature, the ability for players to "have a reasonable and regular opportunity to play golf with each other" and meet the requirements of peer review would be very unlikely.
		There are over 5 million people who maintain USGA Handicap Indexes so it would impossible for the USGA to monitor each individual player and be able to gauge if their Index was a true reflection of their potential ability.
		In order to obtain an official USGA Handicap Index, a player must be a member of a golf club that meets our definition.

	USGA Rulings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The USGA ruling on the EOB Device rests on the fact that the device is composed of two pieces: 1) The flat base that may be epoxied in the rear cavity of a toe-heel weighted cavity back putter, and 2) the removeable hemispherical top.
		The entire device may be used only in practice or in nonstipulated USGA rounds because it does not conform with Rule 1d in Appendix II of the Rules of Golf (USGA Decision 95-249).
		However, if the hemispherical top is removed and the base is epoxied in the cavity and does not extend past the rear of the cavity, the putter CONFORMS WITH USGA RULES and may be used in stipulated rounds.
