More On Uihlein's Comment Softer, Gentler Bifurcation Stance

For the person who suggested I was taking Wally Uihlein's softened stance on bifurcation out of context to further my technophobic agenda, Mike Stachura offers an analysis of what was said and has the full quotes about the bifurcation topic and the Acushnet CEO's admiration for the governing bodies.

"Obviously, there are issues about the growth of the game and people who think the rules are either too restraining or need to be bifurcated," he said. "That's a fairly open-ended question depending upon your viewpoint, and I can make an argument for or against bifurcating the rules."

A decade ago, while golf's manufacturers and golf's rulemakers waged war over spring-like effect in drivers, Uihlein made no such equivocation, telling the British magazine Golf Monthly:

"We have never supported the position of bifurcation. ...Bifurcation is only seriously advanced by those who think that the game is on some edge of ruination and thus as a result of their narrow and biased thinking feel some form of radical surgery is required."
