Finchem Teleconference Scheduled

Just reading between the lines here, but I'd say someone is pretty confident that he has the votes to uphold the new groove condition of competition. Otherwise, why schedule a highly unusual media teleconference to talk about just another policy board meeting?

TELECONFERENCE:
PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, Policy Board update

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL June 29, 2009

Members of the media are invited to take part in a teleconference with PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem on Tuesday, June 30, during which he will provide an update from that morning’s PGA TOUR Policy Board meeting.

Date:
Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Time:
12 p.m. (Eastern Time)

He probably has Tigers backing on upholding the COC on the grooves. After the press conference is over Fortune Brands will probably file suit.

I read it the opposite way. Why schedule a conference to discuss the status quo. I think the groove rule is going to be put off for a year.

You make a fine point Jeremy! It would be a stunning reversal.
