Excerpt:

Philadelphia, PA –  Wednesday's anchoring ban proposal by the USGA and R&A was viewed by many in the game of golf as a landmark announcement. While a final decision won't be made until spring 2013, the proposal has already reverberated throughout the community, with golfers and manufacturers of all sorts prepping for an official rules change in 2016. While this latest decision is sure to shape the game in the coming years, it is just that: the latest in a string of rulings and verdicts which have molded the ancient sport into its current form. Below are three relatively recent examples of other landmark golf decisions. But first thing's first: my opinion on the proposed anchoring ban... I'm for it.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
