Thanks Yoda and thanks Alex, you mentioned you had asked for the ruling on dry hands but not what the ruling was. Who put you onto Dry Hands in the first place Yoda?
Thanks for the Dry Hands tip, GP. I strongly recommend the product to all students and interested others. In fact, I yesterday personally squeezed an application directly into the palm of Larry Nelson.
Since the unofficial ruling Alex previously described, I have contacted the owner of Dry Hands. He emailed me the USGA letter specifically approving the product for tournament play. I will post it here ASAP.
