How to Get Grooves Cut in Golf Clubs

The United States Golf Association has changed the rules about the grooves that can be cut in golf clubs. The guidelines were altered to make the sport more challenging. Basically, the new shape and size for grooves makes certain golf shots much harder. All golf clubs need to adhere to this new standard, except for putters and drivers. To make sure your clubs to be standard, you need to find a service that can cut new grooves in your golf clubs to adhere to the new guidelines.

      Check out the grooves in your golf clubs to see if they conform to the new regulations set out by the United States Golf Association. Basically, if the grooves are square-cut with straight edges, then they must be redone. The new standards call for smaller grooves with more rounded edges, whether they're square or V-shaped.
