"The manufacturers are not sure about the testing and the parameters, so it's semi-ridiculous situation and you have the fact that players have to almost check their own clubs to see if they are legal."

I'm not quite sure what exactly is bugging Lee Westwood about the new groove rule, but it sounds like he's taking issue with some grey areas in the interpretation of what is a legal groove and what is not. Bernie McGuire reports from scenic Doha:

"I think it should be like Formula One and you get these guys at the top of the leaderboard and test their clubs after they have played so you know who is playing within the rules and who is not.

"We are all sort of in the dark at the start of the year."

Westwood said officials at next month's WGC - Accenture Match Play Championship should test the clubs of every player.

"At the first World Golf Championship of the year, everybody has to have their clubs tested," he said.
"If they are not going to test them after you play, what's the point of having the rule anyway?

"Some people could be playing with clubs that just by mistake are illegal."
