Tim Clark Having Sleepless Nights Over Losing Anchor Option
/Tim Clark is still trying to suggest his physical condition requires him to anchor, even though he only has to move his putter half an inch away from his torso. 
Stephen Hawkins with the increasingly desperate anchorer's complaint in the wake of Tuesday's anchoring ban.
"There's been a lot of sleepless nights," Clark said. "A year ago, my future in the game, I could see it. I planned to play until I physically no longer could play. Now it's a case of I've been told no, hang on, that might change. You're going to change the way you putt here in a few years' time and now my future is uncertain."
Clark contends that his method of putting has been an option since the game was invented and that changing the rule now makes no sense.
For people who talk about anchored putting going against golf tradition, Clark counters, "Well, why aren't we playing hickory shafts and a feathery golf ball and having a goat carry our golf bag. I mean, the game has evolved, every generation of players has involved."
**And thanks to reader PG for noting this pathetic analogy from Clark, told to Rex Hoggard.
“A year ago, I thought I’d play well into my 40s,” Clark told the magazine. “You plan on stuff like, ‘Do you buy a house? Do you add an extension to your house?’ Then a year later they’re telling you, ‘No, the way you’re making a living isn’t going to be around.’ It changes your whole future.”
