Totally Unscientific Polls: Ban Anchoring Via Rules Of Golf

With nearly 500 votes, 56% want to see the Rules of Golf rewritten to ban the anchoring of the putter. Bifurcation took 32% but if you were to lump on the 13% for some form of split between the everyday game and the professionals, that would get us up to 45% thinking some split between the two is called for.

Previously, nearly 1000 votes were cast with 69% casting in favor of a ban.

The numbers here, which Nate Silver would not find very scientific, back up what the USGA is suggesting they have heard from the public on this delicate topic.

It's been suggested both publicly and privately that there may be player lawsuits over this, but if the public support is so strong, do those players risk reputational harm or do they have a legitimate gripe?

Either way this should make for an interesting winter.
