@TheChristinaKim “@laurynashleyy: @TheChristinaKim no seriously, your grip is glitter?!” The grip is clear. I put glitter on the tape. So no, and yes.
@TheChristinaKim “@hux78: @TheChristinaKim how does the glitter stay on with the grip solvent when you slide the grip on?” Glitter sticks to the grip tape

Arron Oberholser
@ArronOberholser The guys threatening to sue if anchoring is banned are not helping their case. Seems to me they're admitting its an advantage for them.
@ArronOberholser Guys I've talked to that have gone from conventional to anchoring say its an advantage, especially short putts. "Improves the motion".
@ArronOberholser Question is, if the R&A and USGA ban anchoring, how will they do it? What will the language be? #interesting
@ArronOberholser I think they will mention the word "Torso". Another option would be to limit the length of a putter.
@ArronOberholser Something tells me we wouldn't be having this conversation if Keegan, Webb and Ernie hadn't won majors.
@ArronOberholser One of real reasons for the talk of banning anchoring; I heard more than 50% of the players at the USGA Junior Amateur had one in play.
@ArronOberholser “@Tim_Auger: @ArronOberholser Then fix the ball” That will be fixed after the putter, or so a little birdie told me
@ArronOberholser I would love to have standard ball. Same for everyone. Let us "figure it out". Pretty much had one in the wound ball. The cream rose to top
