the belly putter.\u00a0 Throughout generations of golfers and golf fans\u00a0it has been a lightning rod of controversy.\u00a0 No greater battle between two schools of thought has ever been documented.\u00a0 Families have been divided.\u00a0 Friendships dissolved.\u00a0 Countries have gone to war.\u00a0 World powers have crum&#8230;.OK, I&#8217;m going a little overboard.\u00a0\u00a0Actually, I&#8217;m going way overboard.\u00a0 As is the heckler\u00a0getting on Keegan Bradley&#8217;s case.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span>So let me try to understand this.\u00a0 Most people haven&#8217;t given much of a crap about the belly putter in the past.\u00a0 It was more of\u00a0something to poke fun at than anything else.\u00a0 Maybe some hardcore fans look at it differently.\u00a0 But to the average or passing golf fan, we don&#8217;t really care.\u00a0 It&#8217;s within the rules, so it&#8217;s fine.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span>But now the belly putter will be banned in a few years, so suddenly anybody using one is a cheater.\u00a0 Well, at least according to the heckler.\u00a0 But this reminds me of a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/if-pga-rules-allow-it-then-its-not.html\"><span>similar situation<\/span><\/a><span> a couple of years back involving Phil Mickelson.\u00a0 Quite simply, if the rules allow it, then it&#8217;s not cheating.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span>Like it or not, the belly putter is a part of the game and, for the time being, it is allowed.\u00a0 So to heckle someone for using it and to call them a cheater is not only rude and uncalled for, but it&#8217;s just plain stupid.\u00a0 Now, if\u00a0Bradley tries to sneak one into a tournament three or four years from now when they are banned, then you can say what you want.\u00a0 But until then, to refer to him as a cheater is insulting.\u00a0 I mean, we&#8217;re not talking about a corked bat here.\u00a0 We&#8217;re not talking about steroids or PED&#8217;s.\u00a0 We&#8217;re talking about a golf club that is entirely inside the lines of the golf rule book.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span>Me personally, I don&#8217;t care.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s in the rule book, then it&#8217;s OK with me.\u00a0 If he&#8217;s cheating, then he&#8217;s cheating.\u00a0 But that clearly isn&#8217;t happening here.\u00a0 So let&#8217;s not insult him like he&#8217;s doing something he shouldn&#8217;t be doing.\u00a0 It certainly isn&#8217;t the gentlemanly thing to do.<\/span><br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
