European Tour Playing Two Sets of Rules for 2010 Season

PrintThe European Tour's 2010 season is officially underway with a swing of events being played in South Africa to kick off their year. Among the winners, Pablo Martin won last weekend at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. According to the folks at Nike Golf, Martin played with a set of irons that are compliant with the 2010 groove standard set to be enforced in a few weeks.
But, Martin may very well have been playing against competition that was still using irons with soon-to-be-illegal U grooves. Effectively, the Tour will be playing its first few events of its 2010 season under one set of equipment rules and the remainder of the season under another.
The European Tour is the only of the major tours whose season still straddles two calendar years. After this year, the Tour is looking to stop that practice.
